Looking forward to meeting many of you in person in the coming days! =)

Or walk around hoping for and failing to find a shop with someone who speak English, and regretting not knowing Spanish.
I ended up managing to buy a sim a bit further down the road in the same direction for $130 which comes with a bit of credit.

Hi Wikimaniacs,
Would there be any interest in meeting in the Hilton lobby 5:30-6 today,
and then walking out to a restaurant together?

Hi everyone,
are you looking for some interesting things to do during Wikimania
Pre-Conference? Well, perhaps this is for you: on*Thursday afternoon*,
we will be hosting a workshop for creating animated explainer videos for
Wikimedia projects:
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos
Videos have become a popular format for the dissemination of information
- especially short animated explainer videos which provide a quick
overview over complex topics. The same principle applies to Wikipedia:
videos can enrich exisiting content and provide an entertaining and
easily comprehensible access to free knowledge. Together with experts
from the simpleshow foundation Wikimedia Österreich offers workshops for
Wikimedians which are designed to learn the tricks of the trade of
screenwriting for explainer videos. In the context of this year’s
Wikimania we are happy to host such a workshop for the international
community*.*
Content of the workshop
* Interested participants will learn the basic skills for creating
plots of explainer videos: how to explain complex topics in a short
and comprehensible way, how to work with cut-out animation,
storyboard conception and visualization
* The participants create and refine their scripts and storyboards
together with the simpleshow foundation after the workshop
* The realization and production of the finished storyboard will be
done by the simpleshow foundation, the result will be published
under the CC-BY-SA license on Wikimedia Commons
* The screenwriters can use the videos for Wikipedia articles and
other purposes
What do you need?
* Interest in storytelling
* A topic for an explainer video
* No previous knowledge in screenwriting or video production necessary
