You don't even have to dream for that part.  And Oversights and Developers,
in addition to their travel stipend, get an extra security clearance and
back-stage pass for a guest (presumably, whoever they currently let watch
over their shoulder while oversighting things or manually updating the
databases).

And on a ligher note, +1 to Renata for the need for a Wikipedia-focused
conference -- one of the miniconfs that WMania can spawn.
