Hello everyone,

Yes, there have been previous conversations regarding ESEAP (East and South East Asia Pacific) regional conference and Wikimedia Indonesia has offered to support by becoming a host to this event. WMID is still committed to hosting this next year. Our small team has even write a proposed budget and form a core committee. The proposal writing team is supposed to write the proposal grant and submit it around end of September or early October.

Can the admin of this list please add Biyanto? Apparently he is not on the list, his email is biyanto.rebin@wikimedia.or.id. Thanks!

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
