Hi Lodewijk,
Perhaps what we need then is to move certain things forward. An invitation
letter and precise dates for I suspect a small number of people in
countries which will have visa difficulties should not be too onerous to
put into the first month of a 15 month process.
Neither I would hope would it be impossible to consider their grant
applications at an early stage.

Hi WSC,
I doubt that the moment that people start requesting visa for 2013 will be
any sooner depending on the decision moment. Most of the people with visa
problems also require financial support or will an invitation letter, the
exact dates etc. Experience learned that the *real* organizing only takes
off a few months after the previous Wikimania - hence my remark. Of course
when people think they need much more time I guess we can move the process
forward, but that is not what I have read and seen so far.

Hi Lodewijk,
I agree that in theory a full year should be enough, but in practice we
have some people who need a long time to get visa's sorted for travel to
certain countries. Yes we should be able to get some sort of pre early bird
process for such people, but in the absence of that it would help to bring
the whole process forward.

Nah, lets not wind ourselves up unnecessarily.
There is still plenty of
time - as long as the winners are known around june/july. A full year
should be enough to organize a Wikimania.
