sj: Wikimania 2006 in Boston

According to sj’s Wiki Hut of Horror or Longest Now, Wikimania 2006 will be in Boston. Details about the location are on the wiki for the bid. sj sent an e-mail to the blog group list with information about how people can help Boston host the conference. (Access to the e-mail might be restricted to Yahoo! Group members, but I think the list is public.)

I haven’t seen official confirmation from the Wikimedia folks yet.

I know some of you are horribly disappointed because of issues related to visiting the United States.

Addenda 10/25: Bill Ives reports the decision, too.

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society is taking on a major sponsorship role with the conference.

This Thursday’s blog group meeting focuses on plans for Wikimania.
