This year Wikimania is online
To avoid displacements and risks
But
with remote participation and many translations
It is also a chance to expand our international communities

In Italian the encyclopedic articles are called voci - voices
I like to imagine all the voices behind Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects
And Wikimania is a great chance to hear some of them.
