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!! :-)

about it with you at Wikimania," and then they all get scared and run into

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.
