Want to help make Wikimania 2009 extraordinary? Dreaming of tango
lessons beneath the southern sky? Are you knowledgeable about the
Wikimedia community, intrigued by the latest wiki research, passionate
about teaching the projects to others and going further with free
culture? Do you have some spare time between now and early summer? Are
you detail-oriented, with a flair for organization and a commitment to
providing fair and honest feedback? Do you speak Español or English
(or better yet, both) fluently? Do you really *love* IRC meetings?
If these things are true for you, the 2009 Wikimania program committee
wants you! We are looking for a few good volunteers to help with such
tasks as:
* recruiting excellent speakers and brainstorming conference topics
* reviewing paper and workshop submissions
* producing a schedule of sessions, once selected
The program committee is a fair amount of work but also a lot of fun.
This is a great way for both local and remote volunteers to help out.
Program committee members will be expected to keep up with program
committee mail and/or attend online meetings, review a selection of
submitted papers and meet reviewing deadlines. Offers to help out in
other ways are also welcome.
For questions, please contact me: phoebe.ayers(a)gmail.com (in English)

If you are interested in volunteering, please reply directly to me!
best,
Phoebe
