Dear Wikimaniacs,
Ellie Young is offering to host a dinner meeting Friday, August 9, from 7-9 pm, to talk about the future of Wikimania, following up on the panel discussion earlier that day on Deror's panel. Notes from this discussion will be added to those from the panel. http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Growth_and_Future_of...
If you are regularly part of Wikimania planning, or part of a past org team, and would be interested in this - please reply to Ellie (cc:ed here) and let her know, and include a few words about what part of Wikimania you've been involved with. Space is limited to 15 people; if there is more interest than that, preference will be given to perennial volunteers and past organizers.
Thanks! Sam.

With regard to the after-hours event, I was going to suggest that any of the following who will be in Hong Kong attend. (Past chair -- especially those who will be on this committee), the current coordinator (he may be too busy), Garfield, me, and '14 chairs, ec.)
I would like to suggest that we go on a evening Harbour Cruise (with dinner/drink) on Friday, Aug 9, from 7-9 p.m. We are limited to 20 people. This is compliments of the Hong Kong Tourist Board. If enough of you are available, we could do this. And a followup meeting of course if we need one.
Please let me know ASAP if you are amenable/available for this. If not, we can of course meet sometime before the end of the conference (coordinatoring with the workshop that Deror is hosting of course.)
Thanks, Ellie

Dear Jury - we have a few interested members so far: Deror, Muhammad, and James. There is also a full panel talking about the future of Wikimania in Hong-Kong: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Growth_and_Future_of...
Ellie has offered to organize an after-hours event for past organizers to expand on the topics of this workshop, if there is interest. And I am sure that Ellie will have her own thoughts to share by then, having spent tha past couple of months seeing Wikimania preparations with her new perspective.
Perhaps we can move this discussion to a thread on the wikimania-l list about future bids & the future of Wikimania, and similar regional events.
Sam.

Excellent. Thank you, Mohamed and Muhammad. We are still waiting to hear back from 3 of the recent wikimania teams. I second the hope that this will help all future Wikimanias!
Warm regards, Sam

Hello Sam,
Thanks again for your kind invitation to our team, appreciated. Muhammad Yahia [Shipmaster] is the one from our core team we're proposing to join the committee. Good luck to all and hope this will help future Wikimanias :)

Also - please pass this request on to your original organizing team -- to whom future Wikimaniacs are all grateful -- and check with them. Ideally your team would agree on the person to be nominated to represent your team's experience on the committee. But they should at least be informed that we are looking for a representative.
For those who want to be involved, but don't have time to commit to being an active committee member, most of the committee's work will be public on meta / in public chats, and all participation will be warmly welcome.
Thank you, Sam.

A neat challenge. Perhaps this could be set up with someone's phone... Sound quality might be an issue.
