This is a call for volunteers to join the Program Team for Wikimania 2006 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006, the second international Wikimedia conference, to be held in Boston this August.
The Program Team are responsible for creating the program, inviting keynote speakers, reviewing proposals for presentations, workshops, and papers, organizing the speakers when they arrive at the conference, and related tasks.
A call for papers http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_papers was recently distributed, so we are looking for people willing to help review these papers as they arrive in Indico http://cfp.wikimania.wikimedia.org/.
Please add yourself to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Program_Team if you can help.
I am sending this to all project lists since I'm especially trying to find 3 more people for the theme of "Wikimedia projects and content".
Angela.

Though you can't have time or any other things you feel to need, you can also help Wikimania team to help CfP and Call for participation distribution.
Last year, we translated CfP and other info into many languages - almost ten when the site was launched. Expectedly, those bunch of information will be available in languages as many as last year.
The translation team has been going on meta platform. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/Wikimania
Now there are two documents requested for translation (one is long, another is very short)
If you joined the last year team, consider to be back. If you were not then, consider to join us.
I assure - it will be fun ;-)
