6. Wiki conference discussion Chris Mann: Basically, the consensus from the last IRC meeting was that people do want a conference this year, and have no objections to it being in Canberra. I will start a page on officialwiki to gather details and thoughts, as well as restarting discussion on the mailing lists. Brianna: We could have the AGM there as well. John: an AGM in Canberra sounds good. that puts it between July and Nov as Brian mentioned earlier. Chris: Also, as the only financial Canberran member at the moment, it looks like I'll be heavily involved in the organisation of it no matter what, so I'll do my best to keep things going smoothly. Liam: will it be an internal or public facing conference? Gideon: Both? Chris: That's one of the things I hope to get some member input on. Personally, I'm leaning towards a medium scope (as opposed to a huge Wikimania-like affair).
