Dear all,
I write to announce the Jury to select which bid will be chosen to host Wikimania in 2014.
The twelve members will be:
- Deror Avi - [[User:Deror avi]] from Israel (Wikimania 2011 General
Manager)
- Philippe Beaudette - [[User:Philippe (WMF)]] from the US (Wikimedia
Foundation Director, Community Advocacy)
- Jeromy-Yu Chan - [[User:Yuyu]] from HK (Wikimania 2013
Co-ordinator-in-Chief)
- Shujen Chang - [[User:Shujenchang]] from HK
- Florence Devouard - [[User:Anthere]] from France
- Orsolya Gyenes - [[User:OrsolyaVirág]] from Hungary (Wikimania 2012
Deputy Program Chair)
- James Hare - [[User:Harej]] from the US (Wikimania 2012 Co-chair)
- Achal Prabhala - [[User:Aprabhala]] from India - Wikimedia Advisory
Board member
- Konarak Ratnakar - [[User:Kondicherry]] from India
- Noopur Raval - [[User:Noopur28]] from India
- Manuel Schneider - [[User:80686]] from Austria (Wikimedia
Österreich; perpetual Wikimania organiser)
- [[User:Whiteghost.ink]] from Australia
Jan-Bart de Vreede and Sam Klein (of the Wikimedia Foundation Board) will also be part of the Jury, as normal.
I and Phoebe Ayers - [[User:Phoebe]] - will be serving as moderators, neutral aides for the Jury who do not vote.
To re-iterate what we've said before, it would be lovely if this was the last year we used this process, and that for 2015 onwards we could create a new, community-led and more open and transparent process. Some earlier discussions took place at [[m:Talk:Wikimania Advisory Group]]. Please feel free to give your thoughts there.
As a reminder, bids have two weeks (until 23:59 UTC on 3 March 2013) until bidding creation closes. All cities which intend to run for the bidding process should have created a page on meta and entered the official list by this point.
Thank you, and good luck to all Bids.
Yours,
