Dear all,

Wikimedia Argentina, in collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation,
is pleased to announce that Wikimania 2009 will take place in Buenos
Aires on August 26th, 27th and 28th. We invite the worldwide Wikimedia
and free-knowledge community to attend to the event in which we will
be discussing the present and future of our projects, other wikis,
open-source software and free content.

The conference will run for 3 days, with an optional welcome dinner on
August 25th, and the special closing Wikimania party on Augusts 28th.
Besides the exciting conferences, we are planning a set of activities
for those who also want to enjoy Buenos Aires renowned nightlife. So
don't forget to polish your shoes to dance tango and reading your eyes
for a lot of sightseeing!

We will be opening the call for speakers and scholarship applications
during the following weeks, and the assistance registration in March.
News about the event will be published in the Wikimania 2009 web site

See you in Buenos Aires!

On behalf of the organizing team,
Patricio Lorente
