I would think that properly planning a proposal for something like this would take a lot more than 2 weeks - I've done conference and convention organization work before, and even the rough plan for a proposal took more than 2 weeks, including finding and getting preliminary agreements with venues etc.
The 2012 proposal would be more reasonable, on the basis of having a year to get a team and proposal ready to go. However, if someone here wants to go gung-ho for 2011 as a practice run or if you think you could actually pull a credible proposal together that fast, more power to you. It would be a good excuse for some gettogethers at least... -george On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 10:14 AM, phoebe ayers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I was asked if the SF-area Wikimedia group had any interest in putting > in a bid for Wikimania 2011: > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011 > > The deadline to do so is February 8 -- two weeks away (just to list > the bidding city's name; the deadline for full bid info is March 29). > > If that's too hard, there's an unofficial page for 2012 already as > well: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012 > > If you don't know what Wikimania is, see > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania or > http://en.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania. > > What do y'all think? > -- phoebe > > > > - http://phoebeayers.info | [email protected] > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-SF mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf > -- -george william herbert [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
