I'm drafting a couple of submissions for sessions at Wikimania, and (having successfully made submissions for Wikimania 2012, for Wikimedia UK AGMs, and for other conferences) have come to the conclusion that 300 words is too much text to require.
To be honest I always ignore this requirement. It's silly. A well-written proposal should be concise.
I note that on 23 March, James Forrester wrote to Wikimania-l and Wikimedia-l:
"Note that a complete submission is required, including an abstract of 300 words or more that explains to the Programme Committee why you think your proposal should be accepted over others."
