Hi all.
Bids for Wikimania 2009 are going to open on Saturday. There is already an
unofficial India bid made at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2009/India. Should we bid for
Wikimania? By that time we should (hopefully) have an active India chapter
and more people too. Take a look at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2009 for more details. For all
those who are not aware - Wikimania is the annual conference of the
Wikimedia foundation. Wikimania 2007 was held in Taipei, Taiwan and was
attended by close to 500 people. Wikimania 2008 is going to be held in
Alexandria, Egypt (home to the first library in the world).
Do think and write your suggestions regarding Wikimania in India. We can
then decide a city and make the official bid.
