Yes I am,

We had a wikipedia presentation last week on a congress for teachers. We 
were invited there by a wikipedian (Korakot) who works for the Thailand 
Knowledge Management Institute (KMI) ... kinda the Thai version of 
Kennisnet ... who sponsored us for that congress. He says he is sure he 
can find sponsors from KMI and thinks others are sure. It all started 
with a discussion on how to get Jimbo to Thailand. Another Thai 
wikipedian (TouTou) who is a university teacher and was also helping 
with the presentation then said she had organised congresses already and 
that her university has facilities but that congressspace is cheap and 
aplenty in Thailand anyway. So we have two persons who have experience 
in the field. And one village idiot (me) so that seems enough to start a 
serious bid because people will always offer help once the train starts 
rolling.
