Wikimania 2009/Helsinki

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

I hope that somebody in Helsinki will organize Wikimania 2009 in Helsinki - because it's very comfortable city - it's clear, easy, and modern. It will great conference in Europe. Also, Helsinki is university city. EU and Nordic Countries citizens shouldn't have a visa because Finland is in EU. Everyone in Europe will can get to city and be at Wikimania.
