• I was the program co-chair (and general conference co-coordinator) for [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2006].
• I also helped with the program a bit and co-chaired the scholarships committee for [http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2007] (aka Taipeimania)
• I helped out a bit but didn't do as much for [http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2008]...
• but was on the program committee for [http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2009], held in lovely Buenos Aires
• For [http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2010]] in Gdansk, I chaired WikiSym 2010 as a sister conference, held before Wikimania
• For [http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org Wikimania 2011]] in Haifa, I simply enjoyed it :)

• I was on the bid selection committee for Wikimania 2007 and Wikimania 2008, because of being a past organizer; the bid jury helps pick a conference location out of the bidding cities. For the bid juries for Wikimania 2009 and Wikimania 2010, I was the jury moderator, which means I didn't vote but did try to wrangle people into consensus, ran lots of meetings, etc.; for Wikimania 2011 and 2012, I am a non-voting jury advisor.
• I have also presented or moderated at all five Wikimanias:

:* Wikimania 2005: I gave a talk on user impressions of Wikipedia, based on a small qualitative study I did at UW

:* Wikimania 2006: With James Forrester, I ran an open discussion about research in Wikipedia

:* Wikimania 2007: I moderated several rounds of lightning talks and some other talks

:* Wikimania 2008: I co-organized and participated in a panel about libraries and Wikipedia; and I ran a rather silly but quite successful workshop about making sockpuppets

:* Wikimania 2009: I am hoping to run a couple of open discussions about community meetups
