ing wikimedia, even in a
relatively close city like Stockholm, without a
scholarship stands at a minimum cost of 1000€,
which really is a prohibitive cost for the great
majority of people here, corresponding to way more
than a regular full month wage (two minimum wages,
actually).

25% of that cost corresponding to fees that even
wikimedia volunteers have to pay does seem quite
obscene to me.

If a significant amount of the cost is going to
fancy luxury hotels and parties - those last ones
barred to wikimedians below 18 years, in this
years event - this really should be something to
be reviewed. Also, I agree that it is quite
difficult to understand such an high fee in this
year wikimania, where most of the stuff seems to
be organized on campus.

at 250€ is just an extra 250,000€ to collect,
collecting enough to allow 200 scholarships

In 2015, 2017 and 2018 we had Wikimanias

understand why renting conference rooms

expensive. For instance, Montréal
experience in 2017 was pretty much worse
233 USD indeed given that we were in a
centrally-located Sheraton.

This year we are having a Wikimania on a
university campus. Yes, Stockholm is an
expensive city, but Montréal is not really
cheap either. I can't really understand
how a university campus in Stockholm is
more than 50% more expensive than a
Sheraton in Montréal.

I don't say I want these costs unbundled,
I am happy to pay for the full experience,
but with a price tag that high I would
really like to know where all this money
will go.

much to decouple. For instance, is there any food to not include? Lunch 
being included has pretty much always been standard, for good reason, 
and we're not doing breakfast and dinner for everyone in the first 
place, are we? (As I recall, 2015 did include dinner, though, which may 
indicate part of why it was also more expensive.) And even in terms of 
fanciness, I'm not sure how much value that has, or if they even have 
been meaningfully more so than they used to be. Comparing to the 
Wikiconference USA/NA events I attended some of the same years (I don't 
think any were over $50, definitely not more than $100), the Wikimanias 
were mostly just... bigger. Higher volume.


For reference, prior wikimanias cost the following for Wikimedians:

2015: $95
2014: £50.00
2013: $45
2012: $35
2011: $45
2010: 30-40€
2009: $45
2008: $45
2007: $40-60
2006: $90
2005 I can't find, but it was the first and thus organised a bit differently

So what happened? How is 250€ now not a lot of money? The first 
Wikimania I attended was in 2012 and my entire budget was $500, which 
was basically my holiday budget for the year. I was a student from a 
poor background, and a lot of our contributors are students. Quite a few 
of our contributors aren't exactly upper class, or from countries with 
great conversion rates. Should we really be requiring them to get 
special support now to even register for the main event for what is 
supposed to be a world-wide, inclusive movement?


250€ is a quite a lot of money. Other things to attend may still cost 
around the same or more, but if we also need to spend it on those 
things, we're not going to have that money left to spend on the 
registration as well.

I'd really prefer people be volunteering for these things because they 
want to and they value what they're doing, not because they have to in 
order to do something else. It's good that those who do care to 
volunteer here don't need to pay the high fee on top of that, but it 
doesn't resolve the issue of such a high fee being there in the first place.

Even with Early Bird discount, $270 is... a lot, frankly (and after

was also similarly expensive), the registration cost of Wikimanias 
for Wikimedia contributors was generally in the 30-50€ range for the 
whole event - even Esino Lario, where food and full accommodation 
were included in the default ticket, also had a 'simple' ticket 
option skipping this that was still in the usual price range. Is 
there any chance we could bring this practice back? Or... something?


This isn't even just that I can't afford this (which I can't - the 
registration costs more than the plane ticket would), /a lot of us/ 
probably aren't going to be able to. Wikimania isn't like most 
conferences, where attendees are being sent by their companies or 
organisation; many of us who would consider going are individuals. 
Not only do we not necessarily have any larger organisations to fund 
our attendance, we're largely not getting paid for any of this, 
either - we're donating our time to be a part of this movement, and 
now we're expected to pay hundreds of dollars, as community members, 
to attend an event that used to be specifically for the community?


This is especially going to be a major turnoff to any newcomers, as 
it precludes people just registering and checking it out, seeing 
what's up, unless they have a lot of money to throw around on things 
they're not sure about. And based on the conversations I've had with 
various newcomers over the years who have been drawn into such events 
(previous wikimanias, hackathons, other conferences) and been highly 
engaged and inspired by their experiences, this is apt to be a major 
loss.


I'll also note that while scholarships do resolve this issue for some 
people, the scholarship budget is limited, and also generally 
focussed on travel and accommodation costs for folks who would 
otherwise not be able to get there, not attendance costs for people 
who can get there just fine but would prefer to spend that 250€ on 
something else, like a couple of months of groceries. There wasn't a

applications at all. Not that... there should be?

Thank you for sharing this, Romaine.

Our experiences are so different, and we should acknowledge it and
cherish
it, and we need to respect all people and accommodate all people.

My experience is related and opposite at the same time. I
sometimes tell
people that Wikimania is my social life. It's an exaggeration; it's
Wikimania and other Wikimedia-related events: hackathons,
workshops, local
meetups. But that's really about it. The Wikimedia community is my
social
life. Events other than Wikimedia events —weddings, holidays,
parties, you
name it— can easily cause me to feel out of place and to experience
feelings described in this thread.

Wikimania is where I feel completely at home. But if it's not a
place where
others can feel at home, it's a problem.

I remember one Wikimedia event that had an "introversion room". I
remember
how some people cheered when the event organizer mentioned it in her
welcome speech. We need more of that: not only "introversion
rooms" (even
though they are welcome), but anything that makes people feel welcome.

We need more of this consideration and inclusion not just because
it's the
right and decent human thing to do. We need it because it's our
expressed
goal to include every single human being. Who if not us?

Re: [Wikimania-l] "Friendly and inclusive", and Brexit at Wikimania

I had a bit of the same problem, but with people making disparaging 
jokes about Trump. I think it's an important thing for people to 
remember that even as we come together in this movement, our politics 
are not necessarily the same as other folks, and making hostile comments 
in any direction about any of it is just not helpful.

would bloody stop already, especially as these are hardly isolated 
examples.)

I apologise for the somewhat emotionally charged post. Please read to 
the end and I promise my argument will come together...


Wikimania 2016 gave me more emotional hot air than any other previous 
Wikimania except the one I organised (2013). But unusually, the hot 
air didn't arise from disputes about Wikimedia chapter governance or 
conference (dis)organisation. It was about Brexit.


(For the record, I thought Wikimania Esino was amazingly well-operated.)

Before Wikimania, I had already set out my attitude towards Brexit on 
a Facebook note. I've reposted it on my user-space on the Wikimania 
2016 wiki so I won't repeat my arguments at length:


https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Deryck_Chan/The_reluctant_Remain_voter

The title of my post gives it away - I'm lukewarm towards Brexit.

At Wikimania, the topic of Brexit naturally brought itself up in many 
mealtime conversations between me and Wikimaniacs from other EU 
countries. My opinion on the matter often took conversations towards 
unhappy disagreement, and I would feel excluded from subsequent 
conversation on the same table.


I've never felt so rejected at Wikimania. Most heated debate at 
Wikimania I was involved in took the form of "us vs. y'all", so as 
inflamed as a debate may have been, there would be a "my side". But 
not this time. My unusual perspective as a non-white British (and EU, 
until UK formally withdraws) citizen meant that I had a perspective 
that was shared by very few others at Wikimania. It was like "me vs 
everyone else".


I felt disenfranchised enough by the referendum debate itself as a 
non-white citizen of the UK. I felt sad enough that I voted Remain but 
Leave won. I wanted to share the little bit of hope I still had about 
the future, on the day Leave was declared victorious, and wasn't 
appreciated.


I shared my feelings with Daria Cybulska (WMUK staff, Polish origin) 
and she reminded me to be "sensitive" of other people in discussion... 
an instruction I immediately fell foul of in that discussion, as I 
forgot that the UK's withdrawal from the EU will mean fewer 
opportunities for people with similar backgrounds to Daria, as much as 
the EU's protectionist tendencies have been reducing the opportunities 
for people with similar backgrounds to me.


Okay, enough Brexit chat. I promised my argument would come together.

In her Wikimania keynote, Katherine Maher said one of the things WMF 
would prioritise in the next year is to make our communities a 
"friendly and inclusive space".


I'm a six-time Wikimaniac; and in-person meetings are known to 
facilitate more amicable debates than online discussions. But because 
of my unique background, even I fell foul of the standards of 
sensitivity in communication, and as a result felt unwelcome.


Now imagine someone from a far-flung corner of Wikimedia-sphere 
joining Wikimania for the first time. Or a prospective new editor from 
a far-flung corner of Earth clicking [edit] for the first time. When 
there's disagreement in which the newcomer has a unique perspective, 
will they feel included?


I don't claim to have the magic bullet. But thanks to Brexit happening 
during Wikimania 2016, now I understand the sheer magnitude of the 
problem. I feel encouraged that Katherine and the WMF are making it a 
leading priority for the next year to foster a "friendly and 
inclusive" community atmosphere.


I'm not sure which one is easier to solve: the political mess of 
today's Europe, or the hostile mess of online communities. But for 
both, I shall remain hopeful and do my part to make our communities 
better.

Not everyone uses or contributes to the projects in the same ways. 
Especially for technical contributors, who can easily be primarily

As I spend my last few hours here at Wikimania 2015, I want to extend 
my thanks to all of the leaders and volunteers who have made this 
Wikimania a truly memorable event.  It is a bit funny that, despite 
being in the middle of what might be called a very corporate 
environment, I have felt such camaraderie and friendship amongst our 
huge,worldwide community.  Our organizers set the stage for us to make 
it such an excellent weekend together.


So many things went right this weekend. The food was good, the 
sessions were good, the company was excellent, and the venue was very 
accommodating.  Yes, there were a few problems - six months from now, 
they will be remembered as funny stories.


Thank you again, to all of you.
