Dear Wikitech folk,
we are now accepting submissions for the second annual international
Wikimedia Conference -- Wikimania. The primary deadline for submitting
an abstract is April 15, 2006. The conference will be held from August
4-6, 2006 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, on the Harvard Law School
campus.
Of particular interest to this list will be our Technical Infrastructure
track, dealing with issues related to MediaWiki development and
extensions, Wikimedia hardware layout, and new ideas for development,
including case studies from other wikis or similar projects.
As part of the conference, we'll also be hosting hacking days, during
which you'll be able to relax and write some good code with other wiki
hackers who share your interests. We hope to have details on hacking
days soon.
Head to
http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_papers
for the CFP, and then right over to
http://cfp.wikimania.wikimedia.org/
in order to submit an abstract. We are accepting submissions for papers,
posters, presentations, workshops, and discussion groups. And if you
have ideas about speakers, tutorials, or panels, please add
them to the list here:

Please pass this notice on to those you think would find it of interest.
We're looking forward to some excellent tech track submissions, and a
great conference overall!
