Isn't the next Wikimania in D.C.? This sends out a horrible message to people if its true - definitely not one of empowerment. this is a pretty hardcore problem. If this is this the case, then i suggest that as a group, we try to draw attention to this issue, or the location for Wikimania be changed. Not only is this F-ed up for internal people, but I can't imagine a reporter not jumping on this story. Obviously, this sends out a horrible message to women everywhere including, in my opinion, giving the impression that there are no repercussions for bad behavior.
Seriously f-ed up.

Sandra, can you provide more info? Like, what the buzz says, where you saw and so on... That might make the job easier to WMDC members to answer it ;)

Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de
ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano. É isso o
que estamos a fazer.
sooo, i've heard some buzz about what is going on in the d.c. chapter, and I've been thinking of writing a post about it, bc frankly if the buzz is accurate, i'm a little disappointed. Does anyone know what is going on there? Thought this might be a good place to ask before I open my big mouth.
