very irony of all of this is that the Australian
chapter had scheduled a
national-semi regional conference this past weekend but was that abandoned
when the funding request was decline

as a side note, of course I strongly support the regional conferences,

am thrilled to see that the WikiArabia conference
is seeing a second
edition!
When looking for parts of a new process for Wikimania selection, I
think it is worth building in a requirement that a 'regional'
conference has been held in the city, or at least the country, and was
successful at getting the locals ('casual' editors and non-editors
alike) to walk in the doors.
This would provide a clearer path towards hosting a Wikimania,
allowing a lower cost event to provide a testing ground of both the
organisers capabilities and local communities interest.
