Hi Josh, I for one is not a fan of conferences, specially if the aim is somewhat loss (not focused). I helped AU and AR for wikiwomen conference this year with international attendees of 9-12 women (including myself and Kartika), and I am happy that this is a focused conference where sharing is focused to problem solving.
I was warned by the Russian attendees during interview, and she said: "If this conference is not focused and you girls are talking about wikipetan, I'm not coming!"
I was laughing and agreeing with her. I assure her that I'm would like to discuss project, an indepth, workable, technical up to details project discussions, and both of us end the interview happy and excited.
I'm against having conference for the sake of having conference. I don't know whether any of you know or not, WMAU is planning to organize a language conference this year in Bali. This means, any of yous with language focused area are invited, and any of yous whose focused are not in language area is NOT invited.
WMID also planning an advocacy for Indonesia focused fundraising with the government, this involved inviting Wikimedia Estonia's Raul Veede as a speaker for being able to drag their tax department to the court and win by having WMES as tax deduction non profit organization. This mean having seminar about this focused area.
Jeromy, I see you owe John a BIG CUP OF COFEE for supporting you.
Regards, Siska Doviana

Hi everyone,
First of all, I'd like to extend my congratulations to Wikimedia Hong Kong for their successful Wikimania 2013 bid. Looks like we'll be flooding Wikimania next year. :P
Secondly, I'm writing this e-mail to see whether or not it will be possible for us to organize an Asian Wikimedia conference sometime in the future, either next year or in 2014. I think it would be good for us if we can organize a regional conference, especially with the wave of regional conferences being organized: WikiBilim organized the Turkic Wikimedia Conference for Central Asia last month, and Iberocoop is organizing the Ibero-American Wikimedia Summit this year in Santiago, Chile. Maybe we can do the same? What do you guys think?
Regards,
Josh
