Dear Wikimaniacs,<br><br>Hello again from the Wikimania 2013 Hong Kong local team! We are now calling for a programme committee.<br><br>The programme committee is an important and diverse group of volunteers who help to deliver the conference. The main duties of the programme committee prior to Wikimania 2013 are to review conference submissions, and work with the local team to draw up the conference schedule. During Wikimania, the programme committee will assist the local team to deliver the programme.<br>
<br>We are looking for Wikimedians from any part of the world, who are fluent in written and spoken English, keen to attend and contribute to Wikimania 2013, and happy to volunteer a bit of time to review submissions in early 2013, to join the programme committee. Past experience in Wikimania, conference production, and proficiency in the Chinese language are a plus but not essential. While we hope that programme committee members will enjoy Wikimania 2013 by giving significant input to it, the local team cannot guarantee financial support for programme committee members&#39; travel expenses.<br>
<br>If you are interested in serving on the programme committee, please email the local team at <a href="mailto:wikimania@wikimedia.hk">wikimania@wikimedia.hk</a> . Please don&#39;t hesitate to ask us if you have any queries.<br>
<br>While I still have your attention: comments and suggestions about the Wikimania 2013 call for participation[1] and submission template[2] are also welcome!<br><br>With best wishes,<br>Deryck Chan<br>Global engagement coordinator, Wikimania 2013 / Wikimedia Hong Kong<br>
