Hi everybody,
Last October, Siko committed to a community consultation on the future of Wikimania scheduled for November.[1] However, November came and went, and nothing has happened since then.
As a matter of course, I have to ask whether the WMF is still committed to holding a community consultation on Wikimania, and if so, when. In addition, we’d like to know what the WMF and the Wikimania Committee have been doing since what happened last October that could allay all our fears over what’s happening with the future of the community’s conference.
On behalf of the Wikimania Manila team,
Josh

Josh,
A lot of work has gone into preparing for the consultation. It will be going out December 14. We are looking forward to getting everyone's feedback in the weeks after and into early January.

Is there a particular reason it's being delayed until the 14th?

Hello
I do not know if this is the only reason, but whilst the consultation is proposed by WMF, the steering committee has been invited to comment and to propose any modification that members would think needed (I answered by email to this request). I believe the additional days is simply to make sure that some stakeholders review the current proposition to make sure that it is the clearest and most comprehensive one before it is open to community input. Call it review of the consultation ?
