I wrote a sort of a programme proposal on the talk page in June. If nothing
else comes up, you may take that as a basis to start the discussion from
somewhere.
Find it under content.

Hey Chris,
it's all on meta. I
Just a small formal question: is there any reason why Amical as a thematic
organization was not considered in the travel costs? I thought it's a
Wikimedia Conference, and not a Chapters Conference anymore.
But maybe that's a further question, whether Thematic Organizations and
User Groups are
Only to make the process easier; WMF board, FDC and AffCom members are also
not considered in the calculation, but their meetings are an important part
of the conference. We were just trying to find a practical way to roughly
estimate the range of the travel costs.

Quick note: I have moved the Questions and answers to the talk page, to

WM-IT wants to put to good use the 2013's experience, so here's our application:

Indeed! Given that a while back people were asking whether this conference
would happen *at all* it is very good to see that there are four chapters
willing to host. Many thanks to Germany, Sweden, India and Italy. :-)

Hello again,
FYI: WMDE has just posted their bid to host Wikimedia Conference 2014.

The deadline for the bidding process is approaching: 30 September is
the last day to enter your bid on Meta.

I think there is an assumption that it is needed and indeed welcomed. From
my two experiences it has been very valuable and,I would argue, in an
organisation like ours essential for developing good working relationships
and practices.

Hi,
A few people asked me with varying degrees of seriousness about this in
Hong Kong, so I'll just put this out there and say that Wikimedia Australia
will not be in a position to host this event in 2014.

The name conference doesn't mean that it has to stick to the traditional
conference format.
Indeed, one of the suggested discussion topics (both in general, and for
the actual programme committee) is to consider different formats and
approaches (e.g. using the event for capacity building

If it is that struggling to find out what is WMConf is about, I suggest
dropping it at all (as per the evolution of Wikimania, it would be a
reasonable decision) and create small, thematic workshops instead (see the
PED workshop
Vince,
That may be true. But maybe you remember that Nicole some months ago tried
to initiate a discussion process about the Conference, almost nobody
replied or was engaged in the discussion.
So now we have to hurry up, if we want a conference or a meeting at all in
early 2014. After that or

I agree.
The work behind the organization is more than organizing a wiki-meeting to
drink a beer.
People have to consider the costs for travel, the booking of tickets and
the accommodation plus visas.
Yes, six months is a convenient timeline to start working on.

Can we have it in that place that hosts Groundhog day?
Didn't we have all these discussions last year?
Is this a wiki tradition nobody told me about?

In 2008 I looked into hosting this meeting for 2009 in Stockholm. I
quickly learnt that the travel logistics/costs was heavy against such a
place, being outside central Europe and not having a real international
flighthub.
Berlin was a much better place in this respect and I believe also

following up on the emails Asaf and I sent a few weeks ago, I have now
