Congratulations Mexico! I can't wait to visit the amazing Mexico City :)
And, a big thank you to all the bidders, everyone who commented and
participated, and to the selection jury, steering committee, and Ellie.
This is the first year in a long time that I haven't been involved in the
Wikimania selection process, and I am very pleased to have passed the torch
to such capable hands :)
best,
Phoebe

Dear Wikimedians,
On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2015 selection Jury Committee, we
have accepted the proposal from Mexico DF to host. The proposal will be
further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming month, after which time we
hope to confirm the award. Please join us in congratulating Wikimedia
Mexico!
We would also like to thank the teams from Cape Town and Monastir as well
for all their effort in putting together excellent proposals for our
consideration. As a volunteer-led movement, it is hugely encouraging to
have so many who want to support Wikimania. The bidding process requires a
substantial time investment, and we are most grateful for every team’s hard
work.
For those of you who are considering hosting in future years, we expect to
issue the Request for Proposals for 2016 by September this year.
Sincerely,
Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator
On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee
