To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)"<wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
[Please note that I send this purely as a volunteer, and in noconnexion to the Wikimedia Foundation.]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 2012Deputy 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 AustraliaJan-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 couldcreate 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 theofficial list by this point.Thank you, and good luck to all Bids.Yours,
