[Foundation-l] Press release for Wikimania conference

Tue Jan 25 07:25:02 UTC 2005

The Board has asked me to help organize a press release to publicize 
Wikimania 2005, this summer's Wikimedia conference. We've had great 
success with some of our past press releases, and this is an excellent 
opportunity to develop interest in this exciting event.

I've set up a page to work on the press release, but since I haven't 
been very involved in the planning (the chances of me actually being 
able to attend are unfortunately very low), the content right now is 
barely a skeleton:

As I understand it, the plan is to send this press release out on 
February 14. I would appreciate everyone's help in putting together the 
content, and eventually translating it into other languages as well.

Please take a moment to advertise this on your individual languages and 
projects, so we can get a good group of people working on the press 
release. Thanks for your help.
