I feel Wikimania is big enough that we could put a generic “Wikimania is
happening, stream it over here” thing up as a notice without too many
complaints. My concerns would lie in that we’re trying, to the best of my
knowledge, to prevent this becoming an enwiki-focused affair, which in honesty
has threatened to be the case over the past few years.
best,
Joe

Among other issues, pretty much anything in a CentralNotice leads to someone
being very vocally upset with what they see as spam. It's hard to predict quite
how large or vocal that number will be in this case, as we haven't done it
before :-)
(Are you thinking of some kind of specific message - "watch XYZ speaking about
the future of Wikipedia" - or a generic "Wikimania is now on; watch here"?)

It isn't TED, but from the get go I've had outreach as a primary goal with this
event, and I've been planning and programming with that in mind. This doesn't
have to set a precedent for future Wikimanias. Technical concerns aside, what
negative outcomes are you imagining?

To be honest I'm not completely sure I'm comfortable with that level of
advertising (in fact it makes me very very uncomfortable) even if it works
technically. This isn't TED....and I would hate to see it turn into that
especially given the wide variety in organizers each year.

The livestreams will be promoted via a centralnotice
My understanding is that this is far from a decided thing. There are still
some massive concerns about your servers rolling over and dying with the
traffic we send from this - particularly for streaming video which is already a
bandwidth hog. I'd want to see some testing first.
