I woudl like to dedicate this thread to the
Wikimania of your dreams.
No argument, no debate, just ideas, a giant brainstorming of what the
Wikimania of your dreams would be. Please throw your stuff in, and try
to make it only positive things (ie.write "something that's green"
rather than "something that's not blue or red".)
Wikimania of my dreams is a global event with tens of thousands, maybe
even hundreds of thousands or millions of participants, localized at
every place which has possibility to join that event.
I think that it is more than possible to make one central event and a
number of events all over the world at the same time. All of the
places would be connected via video links as better as it is possible.
In my experience, one of the majore benefits from attending wikimania
rather then watching the videos is meeting people in person, when we
focus on getting several meetings at the same time and linking them up
with video I fear we'll loose this. The same goes for setting up
different events for different projects, we need more communication
between projects as well as between languages not less.
