Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimania is the global, annual conference of the Wikimedia movement, organised by the Wikimedia community. Organizing team and location are chosen by a jury in a public bidding process.
Due to the growing requirements and complexity for this growing conference the Wikimania Committee decided to revise the bidding timeline to give more time to prepare the conference.
Here it is: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bid_selection_timeline
== Jury == The Wikimania Committee is pleased to announce the jury for Wikimania 2016:
Richard Symonds Stuart Prior Claudia Garad Esteban Zarate Daniel Bryant Finne Boonen Ellie Young
== Accepting Bids == We invite anyone in our community to submit a proposal for Wikimania 2016 on Meta Wiki: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids
Please consult the timeline and Judging Criteria that are posted at: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids
The deadline for bids is November 15, 23:59 UTC. You should setup a bidding page and contact Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator before the deadline. She will help you prepare your bid. All bids which have been confirmed until November 15 will be considered by the jury, others will be dismissed.
Subsequently there will be a two week period where the community can comment and offer feedback on the proposal.
In December your team must be available for conference calls with the jury, after deliberations the host for Wikimania 2016 will be announced by the end of 2014.
On behalf of the Wikimania Committee with regards,
Manuel
Hey Manuel,
Can you elaborate more on how the current jury was elected and by who?
Correct me, but beside Richard Sydmonds - all the members of this year jury are new? there is not continuity in the jury?
Itzik
