On October 26, 2006, the Wikimania Team members in Taipei met to report and discuss the preparation work for Wikimania 2007. In retrospect, Taipei started working on its bid for Wikimania 2007 on August 16, and it was shortlisted on September 15. On September 25, the Wikimania 2007 jury announced that Taipei was chosen as the host city for Wikimania 2007. More than two months have passed since Taipei started its bidding, and there are only 280 days left before the opening of Wikimania 2007 Taipei. Here are the minutes of this meeting:
- Andrew Lih was appointed by the Board of Wikimedia Foundation as its liaison person for Wikimania 2007 Team in Taipei.
- The Team has successfully recruited Daucter as the site manager for the conference venue.
- The sponsorship group is seeking for the official airlines of Wikimania 2007 and welcomes all interested airlines to contact them.
- roc will be responsible for the scholarship committee.
- HT and Aphaia are recruiting translators and welcome all interested people to contact them.
- TzuChiang is setting up the program committee.
- The Team is discussing with sponsors on the technical details about the online broadcasting for the conference.
- The Team is still looking for contact persons from schools for the "Campus promotion tour and volunteer recruitment/training" activity. The Team asks any student associations, computer centers, clubs, and libraries in Taiwan that are interested to contact the Team.
