Subject: [Wikimania-l] Announcement two finalists for Wikimania 2013
Dear all,
it is my pleasure to announce that the jury has been able to come up with an
intermediate result - and I would like to share with you the fact that two
finalist bids have been selected. All bids have been examined and discussed
at three public IRC meetings and several private conversations, and we have
come to the conclusion that we will now focus our attention on the two bids
with in our opinion the highest potential: Hong Kong and London (in
alphabetical order).
We were blessed this year with a strong field of bids, and I would like to
extend our sincere thanks to the bidding teams of Bristol, Naples and
Surakarta for their extensive and well worked out bids - but also the effort
they put into answering our extensive enquiries. I think all three bids had
very good qualities and their strong points and with work could make a
wonderful and very competing bid in a future year.
This decision has been made based on the primary evaluation of the bid
quality, with a special focus to suitability of the Venue, Accommodation and
the reliability and viability of the local team (did we have the feeling
they were up for the task). We will not be sharing an extensive reasoning at
this point for each bid - but I think we can give feedback after the final
decision about the winning bid has been made, in private communication.
So what is next? The two candidates will be reviewed more extensively, we
will assess the risks and whether they will actually be able to live up to
the promises more thoroughly. We may be needing a few days extra compared to
the original timeline, but hopefully not too much.
With kind regards, for the Wikimania 2013 jury,
Lodewijk Gelauff

I propose an Unconference session comprised of:
* A lecture- "I want to make a bid, what should it include, and what chances does it have"
* A panel - "What is the purpose of wikimania, and what should it include"
* Q&A with 2013 Jury memebers

Wow, really? You want a bid scuttled because a few jurors got together and
decided to skip, say, Australia? :-)
That's a lot of power to put in someone's hands....

Dear jury, moderators and all,
The first IRC public meeting for Wikimania 2013 bids is scheduled to happen
a week from now on 31 March, time TBD.
Given that the bidding teams are scattered across so many time zones and
with many people involved in the bidding process being part of the Berlin
chapters meeting, will the jury and moderators fix an exact time for the
upcoming meeting ASAP, to help local bidding teams schedule their up-time?
Thanks a lot,
Deryck
(Member of the Hong Kong bidding team)
This comes as a surprise. Our team is scheduled to assemble at the new time, and many of us can't make the old time anymore, and now it's extremely short notice to change back :(

All (and especially the bidding teams),
The second IRC meeting is scheduled for 14:00 UTC on 14 April 2012,
but unfortunately a number of Jury members cannot make that time, so
we would like to move it forward by 25 hours - to 15:00 UTC on 15
April 2012[*].
If any bid-team members would have difficulty making this, please
shout and we'll see if we can find a time that works. Otherwise, see
you on #wikimania then.

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for administrators willing to be part of a panel on editor
retention and administrative actions. The questions asked on the panel
will revolve around basic administrative action towards new editors. If
you wish I can provide a list of relative questions that will be asked
soon enough. I am looking for one administrator maximum per project. If
you are interested please drop me an email. I am particularly (but not
at all limiting) interested in other language projects if people are
available.
Thanks, --DQ

Hello,
I am used that the organizing team books hotel rooms for attendees, so that
one does not have to look for himself, or find someone to share a room,
wonder how to go from the hotel to the venue, etc. You just choose your
accomodation when registering.
But it looks like this time we are on our own, as it is written
"Accommodations will be handled separately from registration." More details
are supposed to be available "soon" (since January in fact)
What are those details (a list of hotels (and we manage everything by
ourselves) or an accomodation form (and the organizing team manages the
booking)) and when will they be available? Wikimedia is in 100 days from
now,
Regards,
Sylvain.
