The truth is, I do not think anything will happen in Alexandria, though much depends on the controversy du jour, and the risks that the foundation is willing to take. I think the issue is more complex. A few years ago, I worked on a film called Watermarks about an Austrian women's swim team in the 1930s. The top swimmer refused to participate in the 1936 Olympics because she did not want to show support for the German regime. She was, in response, stripped of her awards and removed from the record books (but had them restored a few years ago, shortly before she died). Rather, the question is whether the WMF is prepared to show implicit support for a regime that discriminates against homosexuals, members of religious minorities, bloggers, women, and political adversaries. For a movement motivated by "Free as in Freedom," it seems to be an ironic choice. By the way, the same concerns were expressed two years ago by participants at the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunisia. I was there with a sizable group of Wikimedia people. And while the ubiquitous pictures of President Ben Ali were just creepy (the white suit didn't help much), it bothered me to see soldiers and policemen posted every couple of hundred meters along 60 kilometers of highway, or to see locals stopped in their cars for spot checks at the major intersections. Safety, no matter how efficient, comes at a price. Just some thoughts, Danny **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
