Hi Phoebe et al, Exactly how much work is expected from prospective hosts at this point and going forward, and how much time are they expected to commit? I've attended Wikimaniae and was heavily involved with organising 2014. The conference itself could be held more or less anywhere, though ideally somewhere well connected and with an enthusiastic Wikimedia community and I'd love to be involved with hosting another one but experience suggests it's not something I could fit around a full-time job and a family.
