[Foundation-l] wikimedia conference, round two

[Elisabeth Bauer]

Hello,

a short report from the meeting on IRC yesterday. After a semi-public 
question & answers session about the candidates we discussed the 
different opportunities among the committee members.

It became we clear that we need detailed plans as a basis for the final 
decision, but to save the participants unnecessary work, we decided to 
narrow down the list to three candidates which appeared the most 
promising to us: Dublin, Frankfurt and Rotterdam.

It was hard (and very sad :-(, for my part) to sort out the Eastern 
European cities, main reasons for this decision were that there are not 
enough local people to help and the difficult travel situation for 
people from overseas even when the offers looked very beautiful.

The final city will be chosen in two weeks from now.

The rest of the meeting was about organization in general: we'll divide 
the work up in different teams. Below is the first draft with the fields 
and the people who volunteered for each job. If you'd like to help in a 
certain field, please contact these people:

* conference program (Angela)
* sponsorships (Jimbo)
* finances (Oscar)
* PR (N.N.)
* social activities (Danny)
* information in the projects (Anthere)
* website & registration (Brion)
* technics (local)

greetings,
elian
