The bidding process has started at the beginning of this month. (see
here: http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2005-September/004184.html)

All bids should be on meta and follow the rules explained here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Official_requirements_for_potential_host_cities,
that's also where you will find the official bids, if they are listed,
of course (I just added Cleveland to the list ;-) )

Thank you and hurray for the first European applications!

Best,

Delphine
