[Wikimedia-l] News regarding Wikimania 2018

[Ellie Young]

All,

On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation,
 I am pleased to announce that we have decided to explore having Wikimania
 2018 located in Cape Town, South Africa. It would be hosted by a team
 led Douglas Scott with
support of the Wikimedia ZA chapter and the WMF. The proposal will be
further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming months, after which time we
hope to confirm the award.

This past Fall there were a total of four teams
 that expressed interest in
hosting in 2018.   We would also like to thank the people from South
Africa, Armenia, Thailand, and Perth for all their effort in putting
together materials for our consideration and their time spent discussing
the possibilities.   As a volunteer-led movement, it is very  encouraging
to have so many who want to support Wikimania.

Please join us in congratulating the South African team.   If any of you
would like to get involved or have questions/suggestions, please
contact Douglas
Scott  douglas.i.sc...@gmail.com

Sincerely,


Ellie Young

WMF Events Manager

On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee and Wikimedia Foundation
