Actually it does. Personally, Ramadhan was one of the reasons I did not attend Wikimania. This is because, I come from a school where during Ramadhan, I only attend half-day classes. Also, in most of the Middle East, and some Muslim-centric organisations, people work significantly less hours in the office. I honestly believe that getting a Muslim to attend a three full-day conference during Ramadan is difficult.
