Everyone,
I would like to invite submissions[0] proposing presentations, panels, tutorials and workshops for Wikimania 2014 in London this coming August.
Note that the deadline is the end of March; we hope to have final decisions about the programme by the end of April.
Additionally, I would be delighted to have any additional volunteers for the programme committee[1], which will be finalised shortly.

Yours,
I've considered doing "Introduction to editing Commons" and "Introduction to editing Wikidata" presentations for a while now, but with no job I have no idea if I'll be able to afford to go, and even if I can, no idea if my future job would let me. For that reason, I've been thinking about doing it with co-presenters, just in case. Before I begin looking for them, however, I'd like to know if such presentations would be something that the program committee would be interested in.

Oh crap, I didn't realize I was replying to the main list, rather than to James Forrester off list. Please disregard the previous email.
