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

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,

Preparations for Wikimedia UK's EduWiki Conference 2014 are now in full swing. The event will take place on Friday 31 October 2014 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Registration is open until Monday 6 October; the reduced rate for Wikimedians is £25. Details about accommodation options at and around the conference venue have also been released.
A limited budget to support scholarships for the conference has been allocated and applications; please contact me by Monday 29 September if you wish to apply for a scholarship.
Kindly direct any other personal questions or concerns about EduWiki to me either via email or the appropriate wiki talk page.
We hope to see many members of the Wikimedia global movement and open knowledge community at the conference, especially because representatives from the newly founded Wikipedia Education Collaborative will also be in Edinburgh at this time.
Spread the word, please! :-)
Thanks and best regards,
Toni
