Not picking on you, Lodewijk, but why on Earth is that being discussed on a
private mailing list to which the vast majority of likely attendees don't have
access?

Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2012 Google Opening Reception at the
Library of Congress
For this mailing list: there has been a discussion about the dress code on
internal-l (probably shifted there by accident). Some people feel that the
dresscode is overreaching and unfit for Wikimania. It was assured by the
organizers that local costumes (from your own country: saris, kimonos, or
whatever is considered semi-formal wear) is allowed.
As for the general event dress code: I find it personally a bit out of style
for a Wikimania - but it is no huge deal for me from a view other than
practical. I'm not sure if I will attend or not, it apparently will depend if I
want to make space in my limited luggage for a suit which I only will wear one
evening instead of clothes for the rest of the 2 weeks or stroopwafels.
Best,
Lodewijk
