[Wikimania-l] holidays around Wikimania (Amir E. Aharoni)

[Deror Avi]

Having Wikimania during [[Tisha B'Av]] [1], the last day of [[The Three Weeks]] is a no go for all religious jews - not only Orthodox Jews. It is a long fast (26 hours long) which starts the day before, very much like Yom Kipur.
 
Even I will not be able to attend Wikimania on that day (and the day before).
