I have read the numerous comments on the fact that we should be
planning Wikimania well in advance, and I fully agree that choosing
the city for Wikimania 2008 sometime at the end of 2006 or beginning
of 2007 makes perfect sense, and we have started working on it.

This email was sent in august 2006. We said it would be better to start planning Wikimania 2008 in advance, and before Wikimania 2007 happens. As far as I know, not much has been done yet. For the record, there are current bids, but not many seem to be serious: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/Bids

So, maybe "we" should think about it :) (call this email a "friendly reminder"...)
