Please I'm not trying to take it away from Indonesia, just think its an important event that we need to hold for our region and that we need to get on to it sooner if we are to get funding for an event in 2018
There are a lot of hoops to jump through and the application for funding process as understood from berlin notification and discussions is that at least 3 months for funding discussion noting that things slow down over the december period, 3 months for scholarship and call for papers.
Once we add to that planning, costing those little details we'll need for the fund application thats putting us well into 2018., We dont want to conflict with Wikimania there goes june to august, too close means people cant attend both.
We loose late march early april to Berlin though thats a great opportunity to get some speakers and advice. we have two windows. left even starting today late April to early June or August to October
Yes I acknowledge culturally I'm a little more pushy than most I do try to temper that, sometimes I my english is difficult so please forgive me

Most of the participants at this year's Wikimania Asia meetup favored for Indonesia. That's okay, but there's another point about hosting it in Australia. Australia's visa policy might result in a reduced number of participation from Asian communities, since that is not as generous as that of Indonesia. So this need to be kept in mind.

Australias offer is only if Indonesia dosnt want to proceed, I was at
the Berlin meetup where it was put forward and fully support Indonesia hosting the event... What ever the out we do need to ensure we get something happening for our communities locally soon as hosting a larger event in the region apparently is needed now before a wikimania can be hosted

Hi, Based in the meetup minutes, there was an intent from Indonesia. But if
Australia also intent to host too then it is best that we plan this as early as possible as the 1 hour meetup in Berlin and in Wikimania is too short.

last year or earlier, welcome back!
We had a meetup at Wikimania 2017 to talk about Asian Wikimedian
collaboration in the coming year. Notes of the meeting are here:

There's also a category for photos taken during this event:

According to the meeting, there will be Wikimedia Asia Month as usual.
We're also trying to do a Wikimedia Asia regional conference, likely in Indonesia. The various organisers will get make announcements on this mailing list in due course.
Great to meet you all! Deryck (Wikimedia Asia listadmin for wiki-historical reasons, actually lives
in England)
