Dear all,
I know the bidders for Wikimania 2010 are probably very impatient and excited, but unfortunately, I don't think the Wikimania jury is going to come to consensus by tomorrow on which bid should host the conference. We are going over every point of each bid according to these criteria: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Judging_criteria
and there's a lot of information to work through.
Bidders, please congratulate yourselves on all producing strong bids -- there is not an obvious choice :) I'll try to keep everyone updated on the timeline, (which probably should have been changed a long time ago to reflect how much time it takes to talk about the bids).
thanks, Phoebe (wm jury moderator) - http://phoebeayers.info | phoebe.ayers@gmail.com

Yes, I got that impression from the fact that Delphine is still asking questions 3 days after the Q&A was supposed to finish. I don't envy the jury - we really do have 3 very good bids this year.
