[Foundation-l] Wikimania 2006 : general meeting & getting involved

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

These are all very valid points. However, before we have a meeting, it 
would seem rather sensible for the board to decide who the organizing 
committee is. In that way, tasks will not be replicated, and efforts 
will not be wasted. Do we know who the coordinators for this event are?

  Dear all,

Wikimania this past August was a joyous and wonderful event.  It was
remarkable above all for the geographic diversity of its attendees.

Help make the next Wikimania just as wonderful, and even more
international and multilingual.  Please translate this message and
pass it on to your respective mailing lists and wikis.

How to get involved :
1. Come to an IRC meeting next week.  We will be discussing conference
dates, among other things.  Note what times you can make it, or add to
the agenda, here:

2. Volunteer your time, language skills, and enthusiasm:

3.  Sign up for yet another mailing list (wikimania-l).  It is
currently low-traffic and primarily English-language; two things you
can help change.

4. Plan carpools or offer crash space for the event.  (harder to do
before the date is fixed, of course)

Organizing Wikimania is at once demanding and rewarding; and a chance
to learn about the inner workings of a large conference.  Please join
us on IRC, or on the wiki, to find out more.
