It sounds like this is something we need to keep in mind for future
Wikimania. The question will be "is there a way Wikimania can partner with
academic institutions?" I know the University of British Columbia would be
willing to partner on an event such as this.

Unfortunately, I can't get a leave of absence or any funding for events
that are not promoted by an academic institution. I wonder if anyone here
has the same problem.
