When you cap Wikimania, who is not to come?
Employees of the WMF and the chapters, other than WMF's community
engagement team and maybe - just maybe - selected speakers as speakers,
not as general participants.
Wikimania is not for and about employees, they should not be welcome.
Check out the speakers of the last few years: Employees have hijacked
this volunteer event.
Make Wikimania a volunteer conference again. Let volunteers share
experiences and ideas, not listen to employees telling them what to do
and how to do it.
