Hi Guys,
Sorry to wake yu up.

I am afraid you missed the point. You are not in charge to send an invitation to anyone. You are not the person who is expected to act on the Wikimania Organizing Committee without consulting its member.
It doesn't matter who we are going to invite. You are not just the person to contact them. At least then and now. And I am quite sure you won't be either.
Thanks.

Samuel wrote, "ps - Please note : he may show up incognito even when he declines to speak". Sorry, He might, Now he knows there's something going on.
You'll really have to forgive me. If yu are having conversations, which I (or anyone else can't see) I won't know about them of course. So you'll understand that activity needs to be seen to be understood. I'm just used to a culture where conversations happen above the radar. If you understand that I'm used to producing (primarily the AV stuff for) conferences for 8,000 min this is so very late in the day. And I'd really like to see the WMF's communities understand what, globally, is going on.
Sorry, simon.
