Today I got an email from PayPal notifying me that the payment I made
for Wikimania had been returned. It said something about it having to
be manually confirmed, and that that had not happened, so I got the
money in return. This is obviously not the way it is supposed to be,
so I wonder what I should do about it?

Sorry if this has been answered already,
but could someone give a rough estimate of when we can expect the videos
from the sessions in Gdansk?
Sincerely,
