[Foundation-l] Wikimania Program

Tue Jun 14 08:29:08 UTC 2005

Hi,

Wikimania's call for papers has concluded, and the Program Committee has 
finished reviewing the submissions. Almost 90 proposals for 
presentations, workshops, papers, and posters were submitted and almost 
60 were accepted as part of the official program. We are currently 
notifying all authors - this may take a while because the organising 
team is rather small and we are not using a special software for 
conference planning (for instance Pentabarf) but a wiki.

We are currently soliciting volunteers to help edit the official 
conference proceedings, hosted by Wikibooks[1].  In true Wiki form, the 
proceedings will be open to editing by anyone, but we're looking for a 
few reliable people to oversee the process.  We also need a few 
volunteers to liaise with the authors of accepted papers and assist with 
program coordination.  If either of these tasks interests you, please 
add yourself at wikibooks and contact cfp at wikimedia.org or find us in 
#wikimania on Freenode.

Greetings,
Jakob
