Hey all,
while on our trip to the last install fest, I guess many of you were interested about the idea of hosting Wikimania in Egypt, you can work on it now. Bidding will end on 5 October, organizing such an event will require a large number of people to deal with it, currently we're very few to this. The library of course will offer volunteers but this's not what we're after, we should be a group of Wikipedians or people who really beleive in open source and free knowledege.I invite you all to join us, please add your name, location and that you're willing to help in ".." or just willing to help and be part of the team.
In the next 3 weeks we'll be revising our bid page, enhancing it and adding more relevant information, gathering more people who are really interested in this thing.
And the most important thing we're trying to raise fund for the event from local companies, so far we didn't get the required amount of money. if someone has previous experiences with that, we'll appreciate his/her help. all kinds of experincece will be needed if we won, graphic designers, wiki experts (most will come from Arabic Wikipedia), general coordinators, etc.. so please don't hesitate to join us immediately, for any questions, please use this topic or Mido.architect at gmail dot com
I'm M. Ibrahim or Mido, Admin on Arabic Wikipedia and coordinator for the Wikimania 2008 bid.
Thanks.
