Hi Bernelle, Great convo! Cape Town hosted 2018 Wikimania [1] and will be a good bet for SOTM global of course. IMHO a really dedicated and especially local team is needed to pull off this. Persons with SOTM experience should be a plus. Their could be lot of remote interest though; but commitment is a possible issue.
Better still doing doing this with Wikimedia ZA could be a better deal like from 2017 [2] cc @David Richfield <davidrichfi...@gmail.com> 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2018 2. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/09/22/community-digest-italy-sotm/ Le jeu. 29 août 2019 à 19:52, David Richfield <davidrichfi...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Hi all, > > I'll be attending this year's SOTM in Heidelberg, because it's just > around the corner from where I live (Worms).
