To: open subscription <wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org>, wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org


Dear Wikimedians,

On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2016 selection Jury Committee, we have accepted the proposal from the Esino Lario Italy team.   The  Wikimania Esino Lario team is composed mainly of volunteers.  It is promoted by  Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia CH in partnership with Esino Lario city council, Ecomuseo delle Grigne, Pro Loco Esino Lario, Parco Regionale della Grigna Settentionale and the Esino Lario local associations and community. nThe proposal will be further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming months, after which time we hope to confirm the award.   Please join us in congratulating Wikimania Esino Lario!

We would also like to thank the team from Manila, Philippines for their efforts in putting together excellent proposal.  As a volunteer-led movement, it is hugely encouraging to have so many who want to support Wikimania. The bidding process requires a substantial time investment, and we are most grateful for every team’s hard work.

For those of you who are considering hosting in future years, we expect to issue the Request for Proposals  for 2017  in September.

Sincerely,

Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator
On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee
