Dear all,
Early registration for Wikimania ends today; after which the community rate for the conference tickets will go up. The preliminary program and proceedings are available from the conference site : http://wm06reg.wikimedia.org/ http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program
Scholarship applications are being reviewed and responded to over the next two days.
Other notes related to the conference schedule : There will be some outings on Thursday, before Wikimania begins. SIGGRAPH is taking place in Boston before Wikimania, during Hacking Days (Tuesday through Thursday); we're trying to arrange a tour of their exhibit floor. A Citizen Journalism event in the same building on Monday, the day after Wikimania ends : http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Journalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGGRAPH
Finally, don't forget the Wikimania awards -- a t-shirt contest, and a media and writing contest. Nominations of great media (any free format) and writing (any language) are wanted; more information to come : http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_awards
Warmly, SJ

Yees.. and people who applied for travel scholarship still do not have the answer, so they are waiting with registration, as it doesn't make sense to pay for registration and then do not come to Wikimania.

the page on the above says:
We've extended the registration deadline, so there's still time to take advantage of the pre-registration rate: $90 (USD) per day ($240 for all three days); Wikimedia contributors who provide a project username pay $30 per day ($70 for the entire conference).
Beginning July 16th, admission costs $100 per day (still $240 for the full pass), or $40/$90 for Wikimedians. Register soon!
...
So people seem to have enough time register themselves after getting an answer, if it comes in two days?

In fact, the deadline has been extended to July 16th. That's the one and only extension, however, so don't wait too much longer.
