Wikimania offers hundreds (?) of thousands of dollars in grant money - that's the only way I could afford (and still can afford) to go. That includes housing and most Wikimania's provide food and drinks too :)
If you submit a talk proposal and it's accepted it's an even better reason for getting a grant.
So people have no excuses! I'd love to see Wikimania GenderGap-L happy hour!! :-)

And I keep saying "If you want to talk about this, I look forward to talking about it with you at Wikimania," and then they all get scared and run into the corner. Perhaps they fear the wrath, but hey, if you're going to say it on Wikipedia...say it to my face! Hell, attend Wikimania and I think you'll notice..helloooooo gender gappppppp....
I wish I could afford to come to Wikimania.
