Hi all,

Registration for Wikimania, the first international Wikimedia conference is now possible on http://wikimania.wikimedia.org

We'd like to invite all participants of the wikimedia projects to join this big event in summer 2005.

Wikimania will take place from 4th to 8th august 2005 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The event will combine Wikimedia community discussions and software hacking with academic research, presentations of current implementations, and user/community panels. Wiki fans, community members, and developers are all invited to attend.

We are also encouraging presentation and content submissions for the conference; for more information, see the call for papers (http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_papers).

Please pass this message along to all Wikimedia projects, in english or translating it (for coordination see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/Wikimania/Announcement)

If you'd like to help or have ideas for the conference, don't hesitate to contact us at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Feedback (or just ask here on the mailing list).

Wikimania is an event from the community for the community - it will live from your participation ;-)

greetings and hope to see you in summer, elian, for the Wikimania organisation team
