When you cap Wikimania, who is not to come?
Employees of the WMF and the chapters, other than WMF's community engagement team and maybe - just maybe - selected speakers as speakers, not as general participants.
Wikimania is not for and about employees, they should not be welcome.
Check out the speakers of the last few years: Employees have hijacked this volunteer event.
Make Wikimania a volunteer conference again. Let volunteers share experiences and ideas, not listen to employees telling them what to do and how to do it.
