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?"
Wikimania often partners with academic institutions. Including this year, when it is being hosted at GWU.
Juliana, what sort of promotion by a host institution would you need in order to get funding and support?

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.

Are you going to Wikimania this year? I'm excited to see so many education-related sessions proposed so far! I've started a list of education-related submissions on this page:
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Education_Program/Wikimania_201...
But I'm sure the list is missing some -- please add submissions you see! And please click through and add yourself to the interested attendees list for the sessions you think sound interesting.
I'm also trying to coordinate some kind of education meet-up while we're there. There's also a list on that page of people who are hoping to or planning to attend Wikimania; please add yourself and add any ideas you have about the best things we could do as a group there.
