Dear all,
Wikimania has been over for a month now and it is already time to discuss
the next Wikimedia event, the Wikimedia Conference.
Though I'm sure the event is worthy, I will repeat yet again the request
from the Wikimania Committee for people to please stop calling it "the
Wikimedia Conference" when it isn't about Wikimedia, just some Wikimedia
organisations, and isn't an open conference, against the ethos of Wikimedia.
"Wikimedia Associations Meeting 2015" is much less misleading, and closer
to reality.

Against the funds of WMF.
A second conference open to the public would be a second yearly
Wikimania, and to open it means to have a budget more or less equal to
Wikimania.
In addition there are not represented "some Wikimedia organisations" but
all Wikimedia organisations, including the affiliated groups.
Until a discussion is not opened and it does not reach a clear majority,
it is called Wikimedia Conference.
