Dear all, 

Submission deadline for Wikimania 2016 has been postponed!

I've just heard back from the organizing team (in my capacity as the GLAM Liaison). 

I can confirm that the submission deadline will be postponed, but they are still unclear till when. 

We are going to have at least an extra week (till Jan15th), but I've strongly recommended reinstating the original deadline of Jan 31st. They are to have a meeting this week and decide on the final date. 

When they do, the wiki page will be changed as well. 

I'll notify you as soon as I hear back from them.  

Cheers, 

Shani.
