Yes, it was great. I ended up having more energy than expected, though
doing AdaCamp would have been too much but looking forward to reports.
I'm still recovering... so excuse any sketchiness below...
Writing up notes for a little report and will put some photos on
Wikicommons.
Didn't see any of the luncheon as of yesterday am but will search
again. Or see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2012
Don't see Flickr pics from WikimediaDC yet- maybe I have to sign in

It was a great pleasure to meet so many of the women whose names I
recognized from this mailing list at the WikiWomen Luncheon. There
were about 120 of us in the room, and probably another 20-30 other
women who were busy elsewhere at the same time: probably the largest
gathering of WikiWomen ever to this point. I don't think there was a
single session I attended all conference where I was the only woman,
which really did mean a lot.
What is interesting is that, despite this wonderful concentration of
women Wikimedians at this conference, we still only made up about
10-12% of the total attendance. But the strength, experience, and
knowledge that we had in the banquet room was amazing and incredibly
positive.
To get to know each other a bit, we all took turns introducing
ourselves and explaining our link to the Wikimedia projects, and then
each of us added three words that we felt were significant to us. It
was really fascinating to see the diversity in that!
