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.
Thanks,
Mike

I'll have a word with Daria tomorrow about it -
basically, we are very pushed for time, and we've only really got space for one
track....

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

as 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.
Cheers,
Fae
