I will join my voice to the chorus expressing concern and dismay at the
completely ridiculous interpretation of that minor discussion - it
clearly does not resemble a mandate to make such a sweeping change to a
movement-central event like this.
[Obvious disclaimer: I am the lead organizer of the 2017 edition of said
event so clearly I am not unbiased]
I've never been a fan of the old bidding process - having been its
victim in the past and seeing the large amount of wasted effort and
demotivation it must necessarily generate - and I agree wholeheartedly
that the *process* needs to be reexamined. But even *that*
reexamination requires more than a couple weeks on a talk page with a
couple dozen people involved.
Something of the scope of the changes that consultation is claimed to
warrant, however? Farcical.
Wikimania is the beating heart of our movement. We should be deploying
efforts to be more inclusive and place it within reach of a larger
segment of the community, not chopping it up.

Dear all,
It is my pleasure to announce, on behalf of the Affiliations Committee,
the recognition of a new member of the family of affiliates, this time
in the Middle East: Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey [1]. Among
their many interests, is the development of projects with educational
institutions, museums and libraries within Turkey, in order to develop
free content related to Turkey and of course, in Turkish.
Hoş geldiniz!

Hi everyone,
I am Pascal Martin from Linterweb, my english is not better than in the
past :)
We have storage all the links ( dead or not ) in real time since 2008
from all the project of French wikimedia, and Hungarian and Romania
wikipedia and probably English Wikipedia.
We could make this in this European Data Center ( http://www.criann.fr/
) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renater
Why only speak about IA, we could begin to start storage this week from
all the project in any language in real time a link appears in wikipedia
with not anymore ressource :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Migrate_dead_links_to_the_Wayback_Machine
We have the same parthernships with the Fondation OpenDemocracy.
Like you see, we have in the past a paternships with the WMF :
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Version_.5
http://blog.wikiwix.com/en/2011/07/08/linterweb-in-charge-of-archiving-external-links-for-the-romanian-speaking-wikipedia/
I have contact Dany but it not answer me what is the partehnerships with
WMF and IA.
Bests Regards
