Hacking Days planning?
by Brion Vibber 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We'd like to have the techs a little more involved in Hacking Days planning than last year; Ivan did a fantastic job at arranging a tech-themed mini-conference, but it wasn't really what we expected and I think it ended up less productive and more stressful and hectic than it should have been because of that. Who should we be talking to on the program committee or whatever to make sure everybody's on the same page? I want everybody to both have a blast and get some stuff done at the same time. :) - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFxmDlwRnhpk1wk44RAtGbAJ4yGwblwhPVQ7/vI2kwaeIeZ9c8qgCgoclM 2jVRHz8qlA+ldPkS189hJHg= =JxRw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

wikimania sites
by phoebe ayers 13 Feb '07

Just a quick note -- there was a little spate of vandalism on the wikimania2006 site (http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org) last week. I think it's all cleaned up now, but this is just a reminder that this is still an open wiki, and if folks could remember to help check it every once in a while that would be appreciated! cheers, phoebe

Wikimania Expenses and Bursaries
by Cormac Lawler 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hi all, I'm trying to get a sense of how much the conference and accomodation fees will be this year. Even if these have not yet been finalised, can someone give me a rough figure? (I'm trying to put together a funding proposal.) Also on funding (if this application is not successful), is there any indication of how much money will be available for funding/scholarship applications this year? I see that R.O.C. has been nominated to coordinate scholarships - should I contact him directly? Should I do this on the Wikimania'07 wiki or does someone have his email address? Thanks, Cormac (Cormaggio)

wikimania logo
by florencedevouard 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

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 ? Anthere

Re: [Wikimania-l] update of foundation wiki

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?
