Update on 2010 timetable?
by Thomas Dalton 06 May '09

06 May '09

Could we get an update on when we're likely to get a result? I have potential suppliers wanting to know if we're going to go ahead with the order or not - I told them I would know if the conference was going ahead on the 16th and they are now chasing me up! I would like to be able to tell something more than "soon". I don't blame the Jury for needing extra time, the bids are very close and I don't envy their decision, but some idea of how much extra time they need would be helpful. Thanks!

2010 update
by phoebe ayers 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Dear all, I know the bidders for Wikimania 2010 are probably very impatient and excited, but unfortunately, I don't think the Wikimania jury is going to come to consensus by tomorrow on which bid should host the conference. We are going over every point of each bid according to these criteria: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Judging_criteria and there's a lot of information to work through. Bidders, please congratulate yourselves on all producing strong bids -- there is not an obvious choice :) I'll try to keep everyone updated on the timeline, (which probably should have been changed a long time ago to reflect how much time it takes to talk about the bids). thanks, Phoebe (wm jury moderator) - http://phoebeayers.info | phoebe.ayers(a)gmail.com

I've done mine by selecting presentation and noting in the info that it's meant to be a BOF (those do exist this year don't they?). Hope that's ok! Angela
