Hi all,
The public Wikimania bid meeting time has been changed to accommodate
the majority of bidders and jury members. The new time is:
* Sunday, March 29th, 19:00 UTC (next weekend)
Which is:
* Frankfurt: Sun 20:00
* Boston: Sun 15:00
* San Francisco: Sun 12:00
More cities: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html
The meeting is a chance for the Wikimania bid jury and the public to
ask questions of the bidders.
The meeting will be held in IRC on the Freenode network, channel #wikimania.
The meeting will be moderated and the jurors will have first chance to
ask questions. Bidding cities will have the chance to make a short
presentation about their city. Followup questions can be asked and
answered on the bid talk pages.
If you wish to ask a question but can't make the meeting, please leave
it on the talk page of the relevant bid:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids
and we will get to it as there is time. Logs of the meeting will be published.
Any questions? Let me know!

Some people have expressed in interest in helping out online with the
planning for Wikimania. I've created a page here that has a list of
tasks we could use help with:
<http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Online_tasks>. If
you'd like, you can add that page to your watchlist and then check
"E-mail me when a page on my watchlist is changed" in your
preferences. Then you'd get an e-mail when we update the page. :-)
Also, please make sure to list yourself on our "Online volunteers"
page! <http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Online_volunteers>
If you have any questions, feel free to reply on the list or ask a
question on-wiki:

Hello all,
Bidding is now closed for Wikimania 2010! The bidding cities are
Oxford, Amsterdam, Gdansk, and Philadelphia.
The bidding cities now have a month to complete work on their bids,
after which a public meeting will be held to answer questions and the
Jury will evaluate the bids.
Also, a reminder that the Call for Participation for Wikimania 2009 in
Buenos Aires is now open: please see
http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation to
submit talks, posters, workshops and panels.
best,
Phoebe
A friendly reminder to bidding or potentially bidding cities that the
deadline to add your city's name to the bid page for Wikimania 2010:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids
is March 7th, next weekend.
There is still time to add information to your bid after March 7th,
but no further bids will be accepted after that date. So if you're
considering bidding ... add your city today!
The bids to date are Oxford, Amsterdam & Gdansk.
cheers,
Phoebe (wm2010 jury mod)
