Unfortunately, Dublin failed to be chosen as the host city for the Wikimedia meetup 2005. Frankfurt has been selected   see m:Wikimania for more info. (As previously announced here for only half an eternity, I wanted to report on what happened. I've finally gotten around to that. It's become a bit of a lengthy, subjective and opinionated report, but anyway, here it is. —Ropers)
