Scholarships for Wikimania are being allocated. Currently we have editors coming from Kathmandu, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai, Holon, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Paris, Mexico City, Bogota, and Santiago. I'm terribly grateful to Nokia and to the Open Society Institute for making all of this possible.
Total international fraction of Wikimania attendees : around 22%. My goal since last Fall has been 25%; and over 25% female attendees. Despite many complaints that the former would be impossible for a conference in the US, it may yet happen; and the latter seems guaranteed.
