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 professional 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@wikimedia.org or find us in #wikimania on Freenode.

Greetings, Jakob
