Dear all, a few things:
The Wikimania program is really coming together. The program team
worked through some marathon reviewing sessions over the past week
(review teams, you'll be getting your own updates), and we now have a
good part of the program worked out; including panel and session
matchings, a number of promising posters, and a collection of
lightning presentations.
Registration is now open in 5 (magical) languages; if you think you
might need an invitation letter to be able to come, for funding or
visa reasons, please register asap. Some visa information is
available here :

Finally, if you are making travel plans and want to coordinate with
others, remember to make a note on the website :

Greatly looking forward to the summer,
