If we (as a movement) say it is first an outreach event, then Wikimania should happen in part of the world where we have the smallest penetration (basicly it takes EU and NA out).
It can actually get even more complex than this. The question is, “Outreach to whom?” If we’re talking outreach to emerging economies, then your answer is spot on. But if it’s outreach to a certain sector, such as GLAM or higher ed, then it may make sense to have it where there are a critical mass of those folks.
Yes! I tried to do a lot of this kind of thing for London; it was one of the main ways that I chose the themes that I did.
