After browsing around the 2010 wikimania pages at meta i noticed that an edit had been made to the gdansk bid page. I went to the web address linked to the email address posted on the page and stumbled accross a very complete looking poland bid. The link is http://www.wikimania2010.pl/wiki/Strona_g%C5%82%C3%B3wna . If we are all serious about making a bid this year then we need to get our backsides into gear because we have some work to do. For the time being, working on the empty sections of the bid is a good start. A huge amount of work isnt needed from everyone, what needs to happen is for everyone to give a little time to editting the page. Even the odd sentance to a section helps.
We have probably the best opportunity to host wikimania now than we will for many years to come if it ends up going somewhere else in Europe. I think that its also a chance to get rid of the stigma held by the foundation and other chapters, that the UK did nothing but procrastinate. We can be finally be put on the map and stand shoulder to shoulder with other chapters and not be simply looked over. It can get the chapter known within the uk and not simply when there is drama on the english wikipedia. Let's get to work people :)

Is anybody sure when the "credit crunch" will end, and indeed what will the value of the Euro be (against the pound and the US dollar etc) over the next year or so?
It would seem to me that planning any event in 2010 will need some nerve!
