I redid a couple of the posters from last year (they were made too late to be used for publicity, but I think it's early enough this year).
Thanks, but please follow the visual guidelines and do not change the color and shape of Wikimania logo. So

are not appropiate but
http://benyates.info/WMPosters/Wikimania%20poster%20plain.pdf

are nice and almost fits to the visual guidelines but the so maybe this could be use. But the text is wrong.: Wikimania is *not* about "wikis", or a Wiki conference but about Wikimedia projects and free knowledge! You wrote:
"WIKIMANIA is an annual scientific conference and a community event."
Wikimania is not a scientific conference. It is a community event, which is also open to the public and to scientists.
"WIKIMANIA will explore the forms and ramifications of wikis—their process, their impact, and their future—and will draw speakers and participants from across the globe."
Please have a look at the CfP http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation
There we wrote:
Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia Foundation projects. Wikimania is a place for editors and users of the Wikimedia projects around the globe (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary, and Wikiversity) to gather, to meet each other, to exchange ideas, and to report on research and projects.
We try to avoid submissions about wikis in general and will reject them if no relevance to Wikimedia projects, communities and free content is given. Please don't let people think that Wikimania is a wiki conference. Wikis are only the tools - the main goal is free knowledge.
