(warning, cross post to many lists, thank you for not replying to all - thank you for forwarding to the relevant lists) Boston (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Boston) and Toronto (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Toronto) have been shortlisted to host the 2006 edition of Wikimania. Wikimania 2006 will be the second international Wikimedia conference and will gather members of the Wikimedia community acorss projects as well as participants and speakers from different horizons to talk about wikis and more. An overview of the 2005 edition can be found at http://wikimania.wikimedia.org. Contrarily to what was announced on the Wikimania page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006), and due to tight schedules of the jury from 3 corners of the planet, the jury might not be able to meet and give its answer on the 15th october as was planned. This will only be delayed a day or two, please stay tuned for an update. In the meantime, participants and others are free to ask/answer questions on the talk pages of the Boston (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_2006/Boston) and Toronto (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_2006/Toronto) bid.
