Congratulations to both the Hong Kong and London teams for tantalizing
bids. I second the call for there to be some sort of London event
next year -- the energy that goes into a great bid should not go to
waste. [and the # of people interested in attending such events
around the world keeps growing...]
I hope that reps from both of the finalist bid teams will make it to
Wikimania this year in DC.

On behalf of the Wikimania 2013[0] selection
Jury[1], I can announce
that we have awarded the conference to Hong Kong. Congratulations to
the bidding team, and to the London team who also did a particularly
excellent job.
Congratulations to Hong Kong! And also congratulations to London, who
had an excellent bid and team. I hope that London will still consider
using all their bid preparation to host a great event in the coming
year, and I am already looking forward to a fabulous Hong Kong
Wikimania!
And, as always, thanks to all the bidders, participants, and jury
members -- a lot of work goes into the Wikimania process, and it is
greatly appreciated.
