While we would like funding commitments, gov't and business want to know the event is happening, not that it might happen. While we can get oodles of "wow, we'd love to support you" letters, we won't get any dollars until this becomes something more real. Toronto did generate a bunch of interest in previous years funding wise, and if we can get the Province and the City to commit, Ottawa will be easier to sway. And we might be able to get some help from our friends in Montreal on that account -- the Feds should be willing to spend money on Wikimania, whichever city gets the nod. Gerald
