If I may ask, how was Taipei chosen for it? -- Darth tader Stop by 04:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Each city makes a bid to the Wikimedia Foundation and a committee decide where the conference will be held each year. It was in Germany in 2005 and the US last year. Angela (talk) 14:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to all those who have signed up! We're looking forward to a productive and really fun event. Keep watching this page for updates on location and other details. Alexmoskowitz 21:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

What does TBD stand for? --Aph
 * "To Be Decided" is my guess. -PanSola 08:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Good guess! I haven't made a final decision on restaurants because I'm not sure of the size of our group yet.  Please sign up for events you plan to attend and encourage other Wikians at Wikimania to do the same.  Thanks very much!  Alexmoskowitz 21:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I look on enviously. Sorry I couldnt make it this year but hope to see you next time. Best wishes to you all Dr Joe Kiff 19:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
