Hi board,
Theodorian is asking whether the logo used last year for Wikimania
(visible here: http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page), is
actually perceived to be the official logo to be used every year. I do
not think the issue has ever been discussed nor voted. I am not sure
though. I think it is best that we keep a consistent logo year after
year and this one should scale well. Opinion ?

Hi Ben,
Thanks, I will let Taipei team know about this.

I also think it's great.
However, it seems no one in the Taipei team has an account on the foundation
wiki....
I think to have some intro text in there and redirect people to the
Wikimania 2007 website is enough?

Hi,
I was updating pages on the foundation wiki, and found the one dedicated
to Wikimania.
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimania
The page is very outdated, since it is prior to wikimania 2006
Would it be possible for it to be updated, and to mention a little bit
of information on the next Wikimania in Taipei ? It would be great.
Thank you.

- Wikimania-l mailing
list<http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l>
Everyone is welcome to reproduce and distribute this bulletin to their
websites, mailing lists, BBS, blogs, and so on, but please kindly include the
Bulletin's original
location<http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Team_Bulletin/20061124>on
the official Wikimania 2007 website in your distribution.
The Wikimania jury has met and are pleased to announce that Wikimania
2007 will be held in Taipei, Taiwan. Taipei had the winning
combination of a dedicated and experienced bidding team, a great venue
with centralized accomodation and community areas, and strong
sponsorship opportunities. Taipei also provides the opportunity to
focus attention on the growing Asian language projects and the
international aspect of the Wikimedia Foundation, as well as learning
about other free knowledge efforts and projects in the region.
This was a very difficult decision. Every one of the shortlisted bids
this year were outstanding. The Turin bid came in a close second; their
team made a great effort to procure two strong locations and extensive
government support, and gathered the Italian community together to
develop an outstanding bid. Alexandria deserves recognition for
bringing the Egyptian and Arabic-language community into the spotlight,
and for finding a remarkable venue partner in the Library of Alexandria.
London also produced a very strong bid, with a great venue, focus on
educational outreach, the diversity of London, and the strong Wikimedia
UK team.
Thank you to all of the bidders, including those who did not make
the shortlist, for your time and energy in developing these bids.
We hope this year's city teams will find ways to build on the contacts
and sponsors developed in the bid process for a 2008 bid or for hosting
a regional event.
We strongly encourage all who bid this year, and those of you wondering
whether your city could have done the same, to consider preparing city
bids for Wikimania in 2008 or 2009. Unofficial bids for 2008 should be
started now, as the decision on that city will be made this winter
(more details on 2008's bid process coming soon; watch
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/Bids
for updates).
Now the work for the winners will begin, as they develop plans for the
conference next summer. We encourage the entire community to support
Taipei over the coming year in producing an outstanding conference.
With thanks,
The 2007 Wikimania bid jury
