Osama: exactly. Be sure to raise any issues early. Although it's still too early,
i'm already keeping my eye on the Wikimania 2012 meta page and some bids have been
made from Sydney, Stanford, and Barcelona/Andorra;-)

True. That was a valid point I agreed with when I talked to some
people at Wikimania Poland about this issue.
I wonder if we can do more to publicize the process and to get more
opinions involved. The only thing I'm trying to do is to explain why
Israel is not a good choice, why I cannot get involved and how we can
avoid such a conversation in the coming Wikimanias.
