Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania 2013 - winner announced
Indeed - we were originally planning to have multiple rooms available at the conference, but somewhere along the line there was a miscommunication and we only ended up with one room, hence only having one track. The Wikimania discussion was one of the things that had to be cut back (given that the decision on the bids is made, it was either going to need informal chat, or a bigger meeting than a single session, anyway...). I'm sure that there will be lots of informal discussion about it throughout the conference (and the London wikimeet the day after), though. And having a dedicated planning meeting for a 2014 bid sometime soon would be a good idea.

Well we can always discuss it in the pub after the AGM while the board are getting to know each other. Considering planning for it started yesterday, I don't think we're at a stage where much of a presentation can be given about it.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania 2013 - winner announced
It was always going to be difficult for a UK bid to beat the Far East for 2013, however in 2014 Wikimania logically should come back to Europe and a UK bid will have a much better chance. I put a slot into the AGM agenda for it http://uk.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WikiConference_UK_2012&diff=19558&oldid=19557as it was bound to be something we'd want to discuss. But it seems that bit has been dropped from the agenda.

It would be great to re-use as much as possible for the 2014 bid. Hopefully we will see an improved selection process too. I would be happy to be part of a positive review at the next London Wikimeet if folks feel up to it. It would be neat if the new UK board were to be prepared to make a much earlier and credible commitment to 2014 so that the selection panel could see that partnerships, delivery team, risk management and funding were all beautifully planned, in place and geared to go and had undergone local independent assessment.
