Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia on January 15, 2001.

At MIT, they used Wikipedia tags to express concerns with the space. p.s. Congrats, Team Codex!

There were celebrations all over the world — 290 of them on January 15.

We had a conference and party in San Francisco, too:

(Incidentally, this image does not give the full scale of the size of the cake — it was nearly 4 feet across. It was meant for 250 – still, there were a lot of leftovers.)

Thank you to everyone who helped with and participated in both San Francisco events — they were awesome.

And as I said last night, if you are someone who helps make the projects happen — an editor, a contributor, a developer, a donor; whether you’re a staff member or a volunteer or an evangelist — thank you. These events were a celebration of ten years of our community, and I am proud to be a part of it.
