Dear all,
Wikimania has been over for a month now and it is already time to discuss the next Wikimedia event, the Wikimedia Conference.
Though I'm sure the event is worthy, I will repeat yet again the request
from the Wikimania Committee for people to please stop calling it "the Wikimedia Conference" when it isn't about Wikimedia, just some Wikimedia organisations, and isn't an open conference, against the ethos of Wikimedia.
"Wikimedia Associations Meeting 2015" is much less misleading, and closer to reality.
Against the funds of WMF.
A second conference open to the public would be a second yearly Wikimania, and to open it means to have a budget more or less equal to Wikimania.
Indeed, which is why we keep asking for the name to stop being a lie.
