Dear all, The first deadline for Wikimania city is drawing to a close. As of today, I count only 3 cities running officially, which will, I must say, make it easier for the shortlist of 3 ;-), but which is sad because the "unofficial locations sound pretty good. See here at the bottom of the page for more info : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Official_requirements_for_pot… Well, if we have only three cities entering the contest, we might decide to shorten the last round to about a week and make a decision sometime next week. I am waiting to hear from the "jury" about a possible time on Sunday 2nd October to have a chat/meeting with everyone involved, so please keep reading this list to know more about what time. It will be on irc on the #wikimania channel. The idea is to gather to ask questions about possible missing information, discuss difficulties and opportunities. Stay tuned for more wikimania adventures. Delphine PS. "Jury" will be composed of the Board of the Foundation, Elian, Akl, JeLuF, Austin, Sj and myself. Cheers, Delphine -- ~notafish
