However rather than rehashing the decision to hold Wikimania in Israel
during Ramadan, or even trying to send out some last minute
invitations, may I suggest that we start focussing in on some of the
lessons to be learned from this?
I'd particularly like to see a commitment that future Wikimanias won't
clash with Ramadan or certain other "culturally sensitive" dates. It
will be difficult to list which ones we can't clash with and which we
can accommodate by having two hours break in a sports bar (Gdansk
clashed with some sort of sporting event). But we should at least try.
Oh and I think there is still time to get more virtual involvement.

The first two are publicly available. Simple Ctrl-Fing of the threads since
about June 2010 will find most of the stuff if not all of it.

Speaking of putting things in perspective, I've been told off-channel
that there have been several previous debates on this topic.
For the record, could someone link me to (some of) these old debates? It's
probably more efficient for me to RTFArchive and come back with any
remaining questions.
