Invitation to the lists

Hi all,

Registration for Wikimania, the first international Wikimedia conference, is now possible at http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/ . All participants from the Wikimedia projects are invited to join this big event this summer.

Wikimania will take place from August 4-8, 2005 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The event will combine Wikimedia community discussions and software hacking with academic research, presentations of current implementations, and user/community panels. Wiki fans, community members, and developers are all invited to attend.

We encourage you all to submit presentations and other content for the conference; for more information, see the call for papers (http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_papers).

Please pass this message along to all Wikimedia projects, in English or in translation. For coordination, see our internal announcement at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/Wikimania/Announcement . To let the rest of the world know, use our public press release: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration_begins_for_Wikimania_2005.

If you'd like to help or have ideas for the conference, don't hesitate to write us at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Feedback (or just ask here on the mailing list). Attendees can coordinate travel plans and other informal events on the Wikimania community pages.

Wikimania is an event from the community and for the community - it will be brought to life through your participation ;-)

Greetings and hopes to see you this summer, elian, for the Wikimania organisation team
