Dear all,
I wish to remind you all that registration for
Wikimania 2011 in Haifa, Israel (August 4-7, 2011, with a mini chapters
conference and developer meetings on August 2-3) has been open since the
beginning of the year and is still ongoing. The early registration
period ends on May 31st!
Whoever already knows they will attend Wikimania, whether privately,
in formal function, or as a scholarship recipient, should please
complete their registration (see [1], [2]) as soon as possible, not only
to enjoy the discounted rates for registration and accommodation but
also to guarantee your room, as the availability of cheaper
accommodation, and of hotels in the proximity of the venue, is limited.
Please note that anyone going to attend the conference under any
function (for example, WMF staff) must complete the registration form.
Your early registration will also help us better prepare for the conference.
If you want to translate the registration form ([2]) into your own language, this can easily be arranged - please contact me.
If
you want to receive discount codes to allow groups of participants (for
example, employees of your chapter, or recipients of your chapter's
scholarship program) to register without paying for themselves, in
return for a bulk payment to cover all of them, please contact me.
Also, if you want to help with the nascent international program
committee which is going to sort out and review the ~150 submissions (!)
we already have, please contact me too :)
Should you have any other questions relating to the conference, we're always at your service, see [4].
