[Foundation-l] [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2008 will happeninAlexandria, Egypt

[Berto 'd Sera]

Brian,

ROTFL You should read the articles until the end :)

"Sun experienced a similar episode in Taiwan seven years ago when a man
charged onto the stage during her album signing event, firing a shot with a
toy gun. Police later said the man had intended to kidnap her for ransom."

Do we also retroactively cancel last wikimania to protect people's safety?

"From my understanding, the Egypt government is serious on the safety of
foreign people because the Egypt economy is based on tourism. If any foreign
people were been threatened or feel unsafe in their country, it would affect
their economy a lot. Maybe what I know is wrong, but that's what I learnt
from the Taiwan singer issue in Egypt this May."

Is this what you're referring to?
