One more issues I see people raising the issue that they can't afford to travel to Alexandria.  I think this is something that we can help address, through sponsorships and providing scholarships to help Wikimedians attend (who otherwise cannot afford to).
<br><br>I know that the Alexandria team has already thought about sponsorships. I think there is very good opportunity this time for sponsorships.&nbsp; There are organizations out there who support cultural exchange between the 
U.S. and other countries, and the Middle East, as well as the mission of the Wikimedia Foundation.&nbsp; <br><br>Enough of my talking here, but I would be more than happy to get started on this and do something.&nbsp; I have some contacts with organizations in Washington, who I think can provide me leads on this.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#39;m sure there are similar
organizations in Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc.&nbsp; Let&#39;s be
proactive and get working on this.<br><br>-Aude<br>
