I've been to Gdansk before, when I was backpacking round Europe in 91.
It was a nice city and it is high time I returned, I doubt if
accommodation will be difficult to find, I stayed in a nice cheap B&B
then and suspect that things have become more touristy since.
If Wikimania still occurs I will be there, if not I'm sure those of us
who are in town can find a way to meet up, and there are places nearby
that I have not yet visited.

Honestly, I have the same feeling too.
I can foresee that this time will be a mess.
I hope i am wrong anyway, as i will spend my time and money on it.

please, I have enjoyed Wikimania a few times now - but this is so much
uncertainty, that I am really doubtful if this will be worth it to reserve
at least a week and pay the travel and lodging costs, which dont really get
any cheaper either. All we hear is "coming soon" for some months now (at
least since before the chapters meeting). Even if it is not perfect, please,
get something up there, so that people can give it serious consideration
whether to come or not. We're not talking about a general wikimeet for a
bunch of folks in a city nearby, but a conference with sessions where people
need to get permission from their work sometimes to go there, where people
need to take days off, where people sacrafice their vacation for.
I am hoping for and looking forward to more information.
