However rather than rehashing the decision to hold Wikimania in Israel during Ramadan, or even trying to send out some last minute invitations, may I suggest that we start focussing in on some of the lessons to be learned from this? I'd particularly like to see a commitment that future Wikimanias won't clash with Ramadan or certain other "culturally sensitive" dates. It will be difficult to list which ones we can't clash with and which we can accommodate by having two hours break in a sports bar (Gdansk clashed with some sort of sporting event). But we should at least try. Oh and I think there is still time to get more virtual involvement.
