Congratulation, Haifa team!
It was both tough and fulfilling to have more than one great bid to choose from, and I
have to tell the other bidding teams not to be down; consider you have now more experience
for the next time.
I'd like to thank Phoebe for putting up with us, and all the advisors and moderators.
Mazel tov!
Mariano Cecowski.

Dear all,
(I am really happy to send a message on a completely new
topic :) )
The Wikimania jury has selected Haifa, Israel as the
location for
Wikimania 2011. The Haifa team presented a compelling,
detailed bid[1]
that the Wikimania jurors were very impressed by. As
usual, all of
the Wikimania bids had good points, and it was a very
difficult
decision. Detailed feedback will be sent to all bids.
Public
discussion of the bids and the Wikimania process is also
welcome, and
we know the winning team will appreciate the community's
support and
help in making a great Wikimania.
We also apologize for the lateness of this announcement. We
invested a
lot of time in careful consideration of all points. I am
happy to
answer questions about the process.
Congratulations to the Haifa team and many thanks to all of
the
bidders for working so hard. I personally encourage all
bidders to use
the energy that has been put into these bids by hosting
smaller
regional events, and considering another bid for Wikimania
in the
future.
