[edit] Bidding for Wikimania 2011
Each year, Wikimania is organized in the city that proposed the best location for it to happen in good conditions, as determined by a jury. Each year, many community members get together to propose their city to host Wikimania in the years to come. Instructions for putting together a bid for your city:
- Read the 2011 requirements for bidding cities for guidance.
- Start a bid at [[Wikimania 2011/Bids/xxx]] where xxx is the name of your city. Use {{subst:Wikimania bid|2011}} for a basic layout.
- Get input from other wikimedians to help you with your bid on the various wikimedia lists (foundation-l, wikimania-l, wikipedia-l...)
- Ask questions on the 2011 talk page or to the organizers of the previous years.
Unofficial bids can be started as early as you like.
