Dear Wikimanians,
I'm sorry I shan't be with you this year, Washington was such a blast!
Had I been there, I would have given a talk about the Voice Intro Project:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project
which invites the subjects of Wikipedia articles to contribute a short
(about ten seconds) recording of their spoken voice, so that we know what
they sound like, and how they pronounce their won name.
They can do this in any language in which they feel proficient, with a
separate file for each.
Please inform your fellow Wikimanians.
And if there are notable people at Wikimania (keynote speakers or
attendees) please try to ask them to contribute. There's a suggested
script, and examples, on the Commons page, and you can record them on a
mobile phone (just try to find a quiet corner, with no background noise),
or they can upload or email a file later.
Thank you.

Hey everyone,
Maarten, Yuvi, Jean-Fred and I thought it would be great to arrange a place for us to meet on Wednesday evening and have a drink.
Maarten spoke to the owner and negotiated a price of HKD 48 for a pint of beer at the Eastside Tavern, 68 Mody Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui. This is right across the Regal Kowloon Hotel.
You get this price, and no service charge when you show your Wikimania badge.
If we pack the place tomorrow, we expect to be able to renegotiate sweeter deals for Friday and Saturday.
See you there!

Hi all,
With the welcome party coming up on Thursday, I have a few questions. Info on the Wikimania website is pretty sparse. http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Welcome_Party
What sort of attire is this event? Are food/beverages provided or is purchased privately. What is happening at the welcoming party? More info would be most appreciated :-)

Just a quick note to help you navigate the Hong Kong polytechnic campus
(poly u):
*the campus is connected to the hung hom mtr station via walkways (but it's
a big station, so leave yourself some time)
* you can also enter from the other side, from Chatham road
* the wikimania buildings, which are the Jockey club auditorium (jca) and
the N, M, and TU buildings are roughly in the middle of the campus.
*When you see a room number that begins with a letter, like N002, that
means it is a room in the "N" building. There are giant letters on the side
of each building to say which it is. The rooms in TU are in between the "T"
and "U" buildings :) there will of course also be signs and volunteers to
help you navigate.
Best,
Phoebe
I got INVOICE FROM TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT few days ago. But I find the day
date of one travel does not match up with the checking arrangement at
2 months ago.
I had sent a email to Vanessa Argyres <vargyres(a)tandt.com>, but no reply yet.
Little nervous.
