Thanks for your efforts on this matter with the organizing team, Shani! I'm
glad that the dates are getting changed back to later in January. Please
keep us posted with any further updates. :)

Dear all,
Submission deadline for Wikimania 2016 has been postponed!
I've just heard back from the organizing team (in my capacity as the GLAM
Liaison).
I can confirm that the submission deadline will be postponed, but they are
still unclear till when.
We are going to have at least an extra week (till Jan15th), but I've
strongly recommended reinstating the original deadline of Jan 31st. They
are to have a meeting this week and decide on the final date.
When they do, the wiki page will be changed as well.
I'll notify you as soon as I hear back from them.
Cheers,
Shani.
