Wikimania-City (old)

The meetup city will be chosen amongst Dublin, Frankfurt and Rotterdam. Please add concrete information about the rental costs for conference facilities, dates that they can be booked, availability of network connections etc. on the following pages:

The final city will be chosen at the end of October.

We haven't decided how many participants to plan for exactly, but conference locations should have one hall for at least 200 people (or more) + several smaller workshop rooms.

In terms of the meeting date, four days around the weekend might be best, from Thursday through Sunday, somewhere in the range from July to September (please add exact dates when conference facilities can be booked).
