Wikimedia projects use language codes to identify language specific editions of a Wikimedia project. The codes are often used as a subdomain, e.g. for the Wikipedia editions it is a subdomain below wikipedia.org. Interlanguage links in the English Wikipedia are sorted by that code.
The codes mostly correspond to the language codes defined by ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3, and the decision of which language code to use is mostly in accordance with the IETF language tag policy.

That's why we've launched the Sound of All Human Knowledge contest to find a sound logo for Wikimedia that will represent all the knowledge we hold.

Our goal is to inspire the audience: We hope that they learn from these projects, replicate or improve them and come up with their own ideas.
This session should be a great start of the first day for every Wikimania (and has been for the past seven years).
The Panel will dicuss how the cool projects can assist the movement and the local chapters in their outreach.
Panel:
Juliet Barbara, communication's Director of Wikimedia Foundation.
Itzik Edri, Board Member of Wikimedia Israel
Michael Jahn, Head of Communications & Partnerships Wikimedia Deutschland
Maria Cruz, Communications and Outreach Project Manager for Community Engagement at the Foundation
The Panel will be the Jury selecting the coolest Project of the year, based on the vote of the audience in the room.
