It doesn't look like there is much of a UK contingent going to
Wikimania - we didn't even make the top 5 countries list. There's also
no mention of WMUK sponsoring anyone despite there being £10k in the
budget for Wikimania sponsorship. Could someone on the board let us
know what that money is being spent on?

Hi al,
Some statistics about Wikimania 2011:
* We expect upwards of 470 confirmed attendees. The exact number is
difficult to tell, but all those we consider confirmed are paid for
and have never cancelled.
* Our confirmed attendees hail from 56 different countries. The
highest participation is from Israel (26%), United States (16%),
Germany (9.6%), Netherlands (4.7%) and India (4.3%).
* 22% percent of participants are female. That's a wonderful number,
considering the research finding that only about 13% of editors are
women.
* About 1150 people submitted a scholarship application, 450 made it
to the second round of filtering. About 80 full scholarships and about
60 partial scholarships were awarded by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikimedia Deutschland gave out 16 scholarships, WM Italia 8, WM France
about 7 (?), WM Austria about 5, WM Russia 3, WMCH 2. The average age
of scholarship applicant was about 31, the median age about 27.
* About 11% of participants are vegetarian or vegan.
See you all soon in Haifa!
