sorry if you are talking about the guy who didn't get the visa and it is me, I have to say, I sent my documents earlier than time needed for visa, and local team couldn't help me.

Next year, WMF and Wikimania London are hiring the company which got the visas for everyone in London Olympics! Fingers crossed.
Also, unfortunately, this year we did have one person who didn't get his visa on time. One is too many for Hong Kong! :(

Without doubt, Wikimania HK has been a successful one.
For the first time, a Ghanaian from Ghana could attend the event. This brings us much joy.
That wouldn't have been possible without the keen support of the local organizing team in terms of Visa acquisition. Though through a lot of inconveniences in acquiring Visa, Ghana was represented.
I see their support as a very practical and effective approach in helping countries like ourselves obtaining a visa to enter such high-ranking countries.
I believe and hope such visa assistance mechanism and approach is adopted and improved upon by LOCs of upcoming Wikimanias to enable persons from semi-banned countries like Ghana attend such wonderful events.
