Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement regarding Host for Wikimania 2016

Every village in the Alps have more visitors than inhabitants.

How may inhabitants do you think that Zermatt or Davos or Saint Moritz
have? Probably three times less than the capacity of hosting tourists.

The advantage of this seat is that there are a lot of houses for holidays
available to host wikipedians.

 Esino Lario looks like a perfect location for an event like Wikimania, for
 a community like Wikimedia. Decentralization is a key aspect of our
 movement, and having events out of the usual global hubs is a necessity.

If only the first and only link in the thread you're following up on
contained pointers to dedicated journey and accomodation pages!
That would've made these questions so much easier to answer. Indeed,
it would've made asking them quite clearly rhetorical and intended to
passive-aggressively poke, rather than an actual, genuine question.

Oh, look.[0][1]

  Dear Wikimedians,
 
  On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2016 selection Jury Committee, we
 have accepted the proposal from the Esino Lario Italy team.   The
 Wikimania Esino Lario team is composed mainly of volunteers.  It is
 promoted by  Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia CH in partnership with Esino
 Lario city council, Ecomuseo delle Grigne, Pro Loco Esino Lario, Parco
 Regionale della Grigna Settentionale and the Esino Lario local associations
 and community. nThe proposal will be further vetted by the WMF staff in the
 coming months, after which time we hope to confirm the award.   Please join
 us in congratulating Wikimania Esino Lario!
 
  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario
 
  We would also like to thank the team from Manila, Philippines for their
 efforts in putting together excellent proposal.  As a volunteer-led
 movement, it is hugely encouraging to have so many who want to support
 Wikimania. The bidding process requires a substantial time investment, and
 we are most grateful for every team’s hard work.
 
  For those of you who are considering hosting in future years, we expect
 to issue the Request for Proposals  for 2017  in September.
 
  Sincerely,
 
  Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator
