The Association funded part of the travel expenses for two of its members to attend Wikimania - Marc Miquel (member of Amical Viquipèdia) and Góngora (member of Amical and of Wikimedia Spain). Both made presentations. Alina also attended, though without funding. She led the workshop on minority languages.
