G'day SJ,
Register today at wm06reg.wikimedia.org -- only $70 until July 9th for 3 days of in-depth community discussion, presentations, autographs from and to Jimbo, and fun.
$70 plus God-knows-how-much for accomodation, travel, booze ... Jimbo will have to do without my autograph this time 'round.
Travel is pricey, it's true. We have a deal for university dorm housing for $40/night, which is about as cheap as it gets in a US urban area. Booze may or may not be expensive, depending on your tastes :) But we're charging $70 for the 3 days of community discussion, plus presentations from all these people: http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program and all these people: http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:Index
I would encourage you to try and find a cheaper conference with as much content. best, phoebe
