[Wikimania-l] Culling Speakers, Crafting Sessions

Fri Apr 14 18:08:22 UTC 2006

Hi j (and all),

try http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Program_discussion.
I'd like to get that page in use... Also please feel free to email me
about their possible topics and interests; I may know some other
people that they could connect with.

Also, for everyone: submitting an idea for a panel without knowing
every speaker that will be on it is fine, as others may have ideas for
specific people. The main thing is being willing to keep up with
contacting people later :)

thanks for doing this!
cheers,
phoebe
