 Heather,
 This is beautiful. And I happened to love your presentation. I enjoyed
 seeing you taking the stage and remain uniquely Heather... with really
 good, non-cheesy ideas about identity, branding, design and communication.

 And knowledge is a foundation... well, that phrase just f#@ing rocks.

 Well done,

  This year, we are telling the story of Wikimedia in the context of free

  share that story with even more people.
 
  Knowledge is a foundation. It is a foundation for human potential, a
  foundation for freedom, a foundation for opportunity. Our mutual project,
  Wikipedia, is part of the global support structure for free knowledge.
 
  Most importantly, people are the foundation of Wikipedia. We are inspired
  by thousands of contributors who support the projects, and are excited to
  share a little bit about Dr. Netha Hussain, Jacek Halicki, Dumisani
  Ndubane, Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz, Ihor Kostenko, Dorothy Howard, Ram Prasad
  Joshi, and Jake Orlowitz.
 
  Thank you for the myriad of contributions you make, from coding to
 writing,
  editing to programs, and uploads to donations.
 
  We've written a blog post about the process we went through this year,
 and
  how we settled on the concept of 'knowledge as a foundation.'[2]
