About sponsorships
by Guillaume Paumier 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hello, I know the sponsorships committee has got a lot of work, but as the time goes by plane tickets are getting more and more expensive. It is even possible now that the requested sponsorships won't be enough to even purchase the ticket for those who get a sponsorphip... -- Guillaume Paumier [[m:User:guillom]] "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

CfP deadline..
by Cormac Lawler 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi all, I know that the CfP deadline is April 30th (ie Monday) - and I'm busily working towards finishing my submissions - but what I want to know is: does the CfP deadline close at midnight Monday (ie 00:00 Tuesday)? And is it working off Taipei time, UTC, or what? Cheers, Cormac

add wikimania notice to all wikipedia pages?
by Dan Jacobson 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Perhaps on all the wikipedias, there should be added in various languages, $wgSiteNotice = '2007 Wikimania Taiwan...' /** If set, a bold ugly notice will show up at the top of every page. */ to drum up interest. (Wikimania seems as important as the other things $wgSiteNotice has been used for in the past.) P.S., http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Team_and_Volunteers seems like it got vandalized.

RecentChangesCamp Montreal / "RoCoCoCamp", 18-20 May 2007
by Evan Prodromou 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Hello, everyone! I'm writing to invite Wikimania organizers and attendees to RecentChangesCamp in Montreal, 18-20 May 2007. Many of you have already received personal invitations to attend RecentChangesCamp Montreal; for those of you who we've missed, I wanted to send this broadcast message. I realize this is somewhat off-topic; apologies in advance. Please feel free to chide me with off-list email if you find this invitation inappropriate. RecentChangesCamp is a world-wide "unconference" for wiki technologists, wiki users and wiki admins. Also invited are people from related technology and community practises, as we look for common ground on community, collaboration, and self-organizing behaviour. The event is free of charge for all participants. The previous two RecentChangesCamp events in Portland have been extremely fun and interesting for participants. http://www.recentchangescamp.org/ RecentChangesCamp Montreal ("RoCoCoCamp") will be held in Montreal, Quebec from 18-20 May 2007. It will be a three-day conference with the agenda set by the participants, using [[Open Space Technology]]. http://www.rocococamp.info/ We hope that RecentChangesCamp Montreal can provide a good "bookend" on the summer for people organizing or planning to attend Wikimania in Taipei. I think our "unconference" format is quite complementary to Wikimania, and that our casual atmosphere makes RCC Montreal a great place to test out talks or presentations for Wikimania. If you would like to attend, please sign up on our wiki: http://www.rocococamp.info/Participants We're arranging lodging for a variety of budgets (from couch-surfing to the Hyatt). Travel to Montreal can be quite inexpensive; North Americans can find reasonable flights, and rail travel from the East Coast is both accessible and affordable. Europeans on a budget are especially encouraged to look at discount Transatlantic flyer Zoom Airlines. Please check out our wiki if you have any questions; also feel free to contact anyone in our all-volunteer organizing group. You can write to me directly or call my cell phone (+1-514-554-3826). Thanks, -Evan ________________________________________________________________________ Evan Prodromou <evan(a)prodromou.name> http://evan.prodromou.name/

This is reminder to register for Wikimania if you are going -- prices go up this Friday, and it is *very* helpful to the planning team to have a head count early on, so they know how many beds to reserve. Help make this a successful conference -- register today! -- phoebe

Dear Wikimedians, I am zh:User:Theodoranian <http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Theodoranian>, Wikimania 2007 organizer. The registration of Wikimania 2007 has been open for near one month. Your enthusiastic participation will make this event successful. The 3rd edition of Wikimania is from Aug. 3 to Aug. 5 ,2007. We choose Chien Tan Overseas Youth Activity Center (Taipei City, Taiwan) as the event venue. Wikimedians from all over the world will get together to know each other, to exchange opinions in this event. You can imagine that Wikimedia Projects participators from more than 20 countries learning, conferencing, having lunch, drinking, and chatting all together. You will meet those Wikimedians you never met in real life, and you will find you are just like old friends. This is really a good chance for global partners who share the same vision and dreams to contact face-to-face. I think Wikimedians will know more about the similarity and differences between each other via this event. I hope Wikimania will help Wikimedians getting a closer connection, no matter among Wikimedia Projects, or among nations/regions. In this event, many scientists who research Wikimedia community will address their fruitful results; many wiki technology developers will release their new inventions; many important participators will share their experience upon participating Wikimedia Projects. By attending this event, you may have plentiful harvest on the internet hottest issues: Wiki-culture, wiki-tech, and free access to knowledge. Before the main conference, we will hold Hacking Days & Extra (Aug. 1 to Aug. 2), and also Citizen Journalism Unconference (Aug.2). We will have a big Wikimania Party in the evening of Aug. 4 at a historical heritage Red Theater which is a tea-house now. In the party, we can drink beers, cocktails, Taiwanese tea. Since Red Theater was a movie theater before, the organizing team are trying to find some Wikimedia related films and will play them in the Party. After the conference, we also arrange a friendly tour agent which provides optional 1 to 3 days Taiwanese Cultural Tours around the island. Wikimania 2007 organizing team have devoted much time and efforts from last September. We hope the first held-in-Asia Wikimania will be a good experience for all attendees. Thanks for assistance from all over the world, and thank for giving Taiwanese Wikimedians a chance to host. Please register and come to Taipei to enjoy our hospitality. For more information please see http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration. See You in Taipei. Best Regards, Theodoranian
