Hi all,
and an update to Ellie's update... all of the acceptance/rejection/waitlist emails for the Wikimedia program have gone out, as of early this week. If you're expecting to hear from me about a submission and haven't yet, let us know: wikimania-program@wikimedia.org (I know there are still some followup questions in the queue, but if you haven't heard from us at all there may be a problem with the email).
And if you were accepted but haven't written back: please do so asap!
We should be able to resolve waitlist submissions within the next couple of weeks; this is a fairly labor-intensive period of going back & forth to build the schedule. Thanks for your patience!
Phoebe
