Wikimania was held in London in 2014 and we made sure that the opportunity this brought us was not wasted. Wikimania 2014 was not just about what happened at the main festival in August - throughout June and July there werw a series of events in the run up to the main festival:

• 7–8 June : Free Culture Weekend
• 21–22 June : Future of Education Workshop
• 5–6 July : Open Data Weekend
• 19–20 July : Open Scholarship Weekend

We also be ran an event for Wikimedian volunteers on Saturday 12th July. This was a great opportunity for Wikimedians to participate in shaping Wikimedia UK's contribution to Wikimania 2014 and helped made it a true community event. There were also plenty of opportunities for Wikimedians to get involved in organising fringe events just before and after the main Wikimania Festival.
