[Wikimediauk-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Selection of winning bid for Wikimania 2014: London
FYI, congratulations to Ed and everyone else on the Wikimania 2014 bid team! -- Forwarded message -- From: James Forrester jdforres...@gmail.com Date: 1 May 2013 18:10 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Selection of winning bid for Wikimania 2014: London To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) wikimani...@lists.wikimedia.org, wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org Dear Wikimedians, On behalf of the Wikimania 2014 selection Jury, after review and evaluation of the two final bids, we have awarded the conference to London. Congratulations to the London team, and to the Arusha team who also put forward a solid effort. We were concerned this year to see that both bidding teams put forward proposals which were costly and complicated, in contrast to the Wikimania tradition. The Jury briefly considered re-opening the bid for other teams, and asked both bids to present a simpler core budget and lower-cost options for attendees. The London team took our comments to heart and decreased their core budget to 20% of their initial proposal, and have committed to finding ways to reduce the cost for community attendees. We encourage future bidding teams to not give up their dreams, to keep aiming for the stars, but at the same time, to not forget the spirit of Wikimedia: a volunteer movement that makes creative use of limited resources. We look forward to the proposed Wikimania Committee setting out clearer guidelines on these principles. The process to bid for hosting Wikimania requires a substantial time investment, and we thank both candidate teams for their submissions and hard work.
