Dear Wikimedians,
On behalf of the Wikimania 2014 selection Jury, after review and evaluation of the two final bids, we have awarded the conference to London. Congratulations to the London team, and to the Arusha team who also put forward a solid effort.
We were concerned this year to see that both bidding teams put forward proposals which were costly and complicated, in contrast to the Wikimania tradition. The Jury briefly considered re-opening the bid for other teams, and asked both bids to present a simpler core budget and lower-cost options for attendees.
The London team took our comments to heart and decreased their core budget to 20% of their initial proposal, and have committed to finding ways to reduce the cost for community attendees.
We encourage future bidding teams to not give up their dreams, to keep aiming for the stars, but at the same time, to not forget the spirit of Wikimedia: a volunteer movement that makes creative use of limited resources. We look forward to the proposed Wikimania Committee setting out clearer guidelines on these principles.
The process to bid for hosting Wikimania requires a substantial time investment, and we thank both candidate teams for their submissions and hard work.
Yours,

Congratulations, London and WMUK! Looking foward to a Wikimania in a city I already lived in ;) And my respect and many thanks to Arusha / Tanzania. I would have loved to go to Africa this time and I really think the Movement should make some efforts to make something like this happen in the future.
Best, Markus
