Wikimania 2006 - host city, contest part two - change in schedule
(warning, cross post to many lists, thank you for not replying to all
- thank you for forwarding to the relevant lists)

Boston (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Boston) and
Toronto (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Toronto) have
been shortlisted to host the 2006 edition of Wikimania.

Wikimania 2006 will be the second international Wikimedia conference
and will gather members of the Wikimedia community acorss projects as
well as participants and speakers from different horizons to talk
about wikis and more. An overview of the 2005 edition can be found at
http://wikimania.wikimedia.org.

Contrarily to what was announced on the Wikimania page
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006), and due to tight
schedules of the jury from 3 corners of the planet, the jury might not
be able to meet and give its answer on the 15th october as was
planned.

This will only be delayed a day or two, please stay tuned for an update.

In the meantime, participants and others are free to ask/answer
questions on the talk pages of the Boston
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_2006/Boston) and
Toronto (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimania_2006/Toronto)
bid.


Best,

Delphine

Well... The jury has gathered, argued, fought...and has not come to a
conclusion. Decision has been postponed until next week-end.

Sorry about the delay.
