I can understand your frustration, and to a degree share it. Perhaps its time to take a sideways step, and not let Wikimania be such a big thing? As I type, WikiConUSA is running, and earlier this year I was honoured to be invited to speak at WikiArabia's first such event. The OSM community also has both an international event (State of the Map; not held this year) and regional equivalents (State of the Map US; State of the Map Scotland, etc) Perhaps the future for the Wikimedia movement is national or continent- focussed events, with more occasional Wikimanias? Flying speakers in, if need be, but addressing a more local audience, many of whom would not get to attend Wikimania? Why not organise WikiOz, or WikiOceana? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
