Dear __PERSON__

Thank you for your submission for the Wikimania conference. We regret to inform you your submission

__PAPER TITLE__

has not been chosen for the official program. With the limited amount of time and space allotted on the program, the competition was stiff with over 80 submissions, and it was a very difficult task to decide on the final list of accepted papers. If you have any co-author(s), please notify them.

for interesting submissions:

Instead we offer you the opportunity to submit a poster for a poster presentation on location (we will have wall space and possibly table space). Please let us know if you are interested. Of course you are also invited to visit the conference as a normal attendee. There will be enough space and time to discuss your ideas beside the official presentations. If you choose to do this, we strongly suggest that you register at http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/registration

We kindly welcome you to visit the conference as an attendee. There will be enough space and time to discuss your ideas beside the official presentations. If you choose to do this, we strongly suggest that you register at http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/registration

We hope to see you at Wikimania.

Best wishes,

Wikimania Planning Committee
