I third that!
However we are entering the field of privacy, because as useful the virtual
meetings can be, they might be intrusive if you are in your home and you
show your whole house to the world. As long as people are happy about that,
then I do not see any problem in increasing the number of meetings having a
virtual component in Wikimania.
I wonder if it is possible to organize a virtual conference first using
something like Google Hangouts to test if it would work at a bigger scale
like wikimania.

Default to open meetings, not closed or invitation only.
Default to open wikis and lists, not closed.
Virtual attendance at meetings and conferences. Wikimania has always been
an opportunity to showcase virtual meetings, and encourage those of us
unable to fly (or not rich enough to pay) to feel part of the exclusive
"we".

So do I.
However, the coreallry to this is the firamtion of cliques, which can
be equally unwlecoming to new editors and can entrench systemic
biases. We see this, and "ownership", in some en.WP wikiprjcts, for
example.
How can we itigate against this, while making our projects more social?
