Re: [Wikimania-l] [Wikimania-jury] The future of Wikimania
Dear Wikimaniacs, Ellie Young is offering to host a dinner meeting Friday, August 9, from 7-9 pm, to talk about the future of Wikimania, following up on the panel discussion earlier that day on Deror's panel. Notes from this discussion will be added to those from the panel. http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Growth_and_Future_of_Wikimania If you are regularly part of Wikimania planning, or part of a past org team, and would be interested in this - please reply to Ellie (cc:ed here) and let her know, and include a few words about what part of Wikimania you've been involved with. Space is limited to 15 people; if there is more interest than that, preference will be given to perennial volunteers and past organizers. Thanks! Sam.

A neat challenge. Perhaps this could be set up with someone's phone... Sound quality might be an issue.
