I doubt that the moment that people start requesting visa for 2013 will be any sooner depending on the decision moment. Most of the people with visa problems also require financial support or will an invitation letter, the exact dates etc. Experience learned that the *real* organizing only takes off a few months after the previous Wikimania - hence my remark. Of course when people think they need much more time I guess we can move the process forward, but that is not what I have read and seen so far.

Hi Lodewijk,

I agree that in theory a full year should be enough, but in practice we have some people who need a long time to get visa's sorted for travel to certain countries. Yes we should be able to get some sort of pre early bird process for such people, but in the absence of that it would help to bring the whole process forward.

Nah, lets not wind ourselves up unnecessarily. There is still plenty of time - as long as the winners are known around june/july. A full year should be enough to organize a Wikimania.
