Congratulations to the Poland team for winning the Wikimania 2010 bid!

Thank you :-) Actually we are all very happy but also shocked in Poland. Now, we feel great responsibility to organize Wikimania as well as we are able or even better :-) I think all three biding team deserve congratulation as all of them did great job as well, and Wikimania could have been be a success in Amsterdam or Oxford. -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.ptchem.lodz.pl/en/TomaszGanicz.html

Congratulations! I know that I grilled you with many questions during the bidding process, but that's because I thought your bid was very strong and wanted to make sure you thought about various details. I was satisfied with the answer regarding the venue space, especially the idea of having outdoor space as social space. There were pros and cons of all of the bids and I think any of the bid options would have worked just fine. The Poland location is a good opportunity for outreach to Eastern European Wikipedians and seems not so far from Germany (Berlin), Denmark, Sweden, and other places. -Aude On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 5:24 AM, Tomasz Ganicz <polimerek(a)gmail.com> wrote:

The Polish Wikipedia community has always been strong and active, ever since the earliest days when Polish was broken out to separate hosting for a while to demonstrate the need to upgrade our wikis for proper Unicode support. Congratulations -- it'll be great to meet all you guys on your home turf for a change! :)

They were all great bids, which is why the poor bid committee was stuck so long making their decision! :) Here's holding out for 2011 and 2012... -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) CTO, Wikimedia Foundation San Francisco

Hey Tomasz - yes, congratulations to you and the rest of the Poland team! We were just talking about this the other day and now it has happened. We look forward to helping out all of you on this. (I will be seeing more of you on Skype et al, right?) It will be really exciting to have the next Wikimania in Poland. Kudos to the other teams for their strong bids as well. Now...which Polish words should I start filling my brain with? Kul

Ahem, the "by" was a bit too strong in my mind... I actually wanted to put "by muscular energy" first, but decided to clarify. michael -- Michael Bimmler mbimmler(a)gmail.com

Congrats to the Polish team, and poor committee, it's always a tough decision but this year one seems one of toughest since ever. Thank you for everyone involved and hope to see you all in Gdansk next year. Again, congrats! On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 5:46 PM, Dedalus <dedalus(a)wikipedia.be> wrote:
