As we decided during Wikimeda CEE Meeting 2016 in Dilijan, Armenia, we are currently holding a bidding process for next year's meeting[2] location and venue. As a result our colleagues from Wikimedia Polska and Wikimedia Česká republika have taken their time to prepare their bids for us to consider.

The deadline for further submissions has now passed and it is now time to honor their effort and be engaged in community discussion to better understand what they have to offer and thus to choose the best possible location for our annual get-together, which we so highly appreciate. There is always room to enhance the bids on the basis of community feedback, so please be engaged in making our meeting next year even better!

The community discussion will take place until the 25th of September (included)! I encourage you to participate in discussion on the talk page of the bidding process[3]! And don't forget to consult proposals of Wikimedia Polska (application 1)[4] and Wikimedia Česká republika[5] beforehand!

CEE you on the talkpage!
