Good stuff. I too would love to have Wikimania in London; well as you say England - but if anyone has any alternate towns or cities then, go for it I suppose?

I wasn't sure if I was "allowed" to make the unofficial bid official bid myself, but seeing as there are two other bids listed officially I thought we should not let it slip us by. :)
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008/London is not very informative currently. I will try and add to it today - the Cape Town bid[1] has lots of sections and ideas to think about we can use ourselves. [2]
 
If I read the stuff on Meta correctly, we have nine days to make an official bid into the running, then until the end of September to finalise.
 
Let's do it people!

Yes please! London would be fantastic! :) I live nowhere near it, but anywhere in the UK for Wikimania would of course be excellent :P I'll try and help out too.

London would be fine for me. I live near Manchester, which would probably be more ideal for me, but London, I think would be more suitable for Wikimania. Also, there's the fact I couldn't really organise anything myself, but would be happy to help out elsewhere.
