					<description><![CDATA[Hello Andrew, I wrote a response a while ago, but it hasn&#039;t turned up in the comments queue, so perhaps I just previewed it and didn&#039;t save it.

About sixty people attended (there were a couple of no-shows, so it may be slightly less), plus the organisers. A bit more than half saw themselves as educators, about a third were there as Wikimedians (although many Wikimedia contributors are also professional educators, of course), and there were ten from related groups such as scholarly societies.

Since this was the first EduWiki conference, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s a relevant previous conference to compare it against. We haven&#039;t done a dedicated conference for this audience before. Perhaps the nearest equivalent is GLAM-Wiki 2010, but that was by definition promoting a different kind of outreach with a different audience.

In terms of the amount of future work generated, or expressions of interest in collaboration, this conference is as much of a success as I could have imagined. In one session we got more requests for workshops and presentations than would have been a year&#039;s work for the chapter, a couple of years ago. cheers,]]></description>
