Hi, Personally I think there should be a bid. Going for the Queen Mary solution may make a lot of sense as much of the preparation has already been done and we could concentrate on improvements on the previous attempt. However, before we settle on the location we should probably consider why East London was not attractive last time around and decide if these problems (whatever they were) could be overcome. I also think we should be careful not to let a wikimania bid get in the way of the charity registration and setting up the UK chapter. While the chapter could lend support to the bid, I think it would be good to have it lead from outside the board. I would be very happy for Gordon to take the lead on this.
