---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ellie Young eyoung@wikimedia.org Date: Mon, Apr 21, 2014 at 11:27 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement regarding Host for Wikimania 2015 To: open subscription wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org, wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Dear Wikimedians,

On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2015 selection Jury Committee, we have accepted the proposal from Mexico DF to host. The proposal will be further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming month, after which time we hope to confirm the award. Please join us in congratulating Wikimedia Mexico!

We would also like to thank the teams from Cape Town and Monastir as well for all their effort in putting together excellent proposals for our consideration. As a volunteer-led movement, it is hugely encouraging to have so many who want to support Wikimania. The bidding process requires a substantial time investment, and we are most grateful for every team’s hard work.

For those of you who are considering hosting in future years, we expect to issue the Request for Proposals for 2016 by September this year.

Sincerely,

Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
