Oh dear!!! I got the date right and the day wrong. But yes food and drink tonight.

There are no receptions on Friday.

I'll like to have a UK Sim card, anyone have one available? I don't care
much about what network it is.

Dear all,
Unfortunately, high temperatures are expected to return today with a
forecast high of 26 degrees and probably still no rain. But we have better
news for the weekend with heavy rain promised for Saturday, so you are
likely to get a chance to use your umbrellas and other London type gear.

Most Wikimanians will be spending most of the day indoors, except of course
for smokers. The organisers of the cricket match have found a covered venue
for Saturday night's match, so neither rain nor lightning should be a
problem.

Ive just ordered a stack (30) of UK sim cards for Wikimania. This is a mix
of dual normal/micro sims, and also some nano sims..
Theyre with giffgaff [1], and come with 5 GBP credit. If you get a £10
goodybag [2], it comes with 1GB mobile data and uk minutes/texts. Can get
4G on it too.
International rates are at [3]
Oh, and you can contact anyone else with a giffgaff sim for free too.
Ill be down in London from the 5th, so if anyone wants one, come find me.

Hello everyone,
last year Wikimedia Deutschland cooperated with Beuth University of Applied
Science concerning diversity in Wikipedia. Now we published the key
conclusions and recommendation and translate the report into English, so
that you and other interested people can also take a closer look on our
work concerning diversity and maybe getting input for your own work.
The English title is “Charting Diversity - Working together towards
diversity in Wikipedia” and starts off with a review of the current
situation in (the German) Wikipedia and then goes on to offer different
concepts and possibilities how to improve diversity in Wikipedia.

There was a long segment on Wikipedia / Wikimania on Newsnight last night -
one of the UK's leading current affairs shows.

Dear Wikimanians,
People have asked about the Wikimedia UK branded sweet in the delegate
bags. It is a traditional British delicacy called rock
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%28confectionery%29>. One of our
vegetarians has checked and it does not contain either gelatine or
cochineal or anything else that would make it unacceptable to vegetarians
or indeed vegans. However dentists and diabetics may be less happy as it is
rather high in sucrose.
