Dear All
I am absolutely delighted to read that so many of you received a delegate guide! Great!
Just me, I have nothing!! So forgive me if I repeat this request. Kindly put the name of
the hotel, address and phone no on the programme website, with a max amount for taxi. I am
a steady believer in Murphy's law, so please use this backup method, too.
Or just anyone who received that wonderful guide, send this 1 bit of info to me
privately.
Cheers Ingo

Ah, and the "Delegate Guide" document just arrived as I was writing this.
:) Thank you.

Thank you, Raphael. The program is good to see, but
Florence was
asking about "the document" Felix mentioned, with all the logistics explained.
That is not the program page.
And regarding the program -- submissions had some descriptions with them.
Where can we read them?
For example, I don't know what the "Letter to Katherine" means, and
I'm sure some other sessions, like my own "Wikipedia Clinic", may not
be clear to others. Could you please paste the descriptions?
If you're too busy with preparations, I'm sure many of us are happy to
help -- just give a couple of people access to the Google Form that
collected the submissions, and we can help paste more information into
the program page.
Finally, I am a bit worried about a 30-minute lunch. It is *doable*,
but only if the lunch is in pre-packaged boxes people can rapidly grab
and start eating. (is it?) Experience shows that any kind of food
serving situation, where people have to stand in line and wait for one
or several servers to put food in their plates, easily take up at
least 20-30 minutes itself. Then the people who got food last won't have enough time
to eat.
If the plan *isn't* for sandwiches in boxes, I suggest you rework the
schedule in advance, so that sacrifices are made calmly and after
consideration, instead of ending up running late and chaotically
losing time or pushing the whole schedule out.
P.S. Just today I got my passport back from the Embassy of Ghana, with
my visa, so I look forward to seeing many of you in Accra! :)

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for you genuine concerns. A document is currently being
prepared and should be shared with all participants by the weekend.
Hello
Just checking... is the document done or not yet ?
I'd like to get even the draft version of it tomorrow. I am basically
departing home in 24 hours. And feel... errr... that I am lacking
information that could be useful. So anything that can help... I am
interested.
In particular, I would like to have details about an alternate means
to rejoin the hotel IN CASE something goes wrong at the airport.
Florence
It will contain all that you are asking for, however just to clear the
air, there will be a shuttle to convey all participants from the
airport to the hotel of stay. You arrival dates have been shared to
allow the shuttle driver know when to come to the airport. Also there
will be some team members to direct you to the bus, just look around
for an individual(s) holding a card with the inscription *Wiki Indaba 17*.
Hope this helps....
Cheers,

Dear Felix, dear organizers
I am happy to hear (as surely all others are) that the preparations
have gone well! I think it will be helpful for all participants to
have a description of the place (adress, phone numbers of hotel and/or
contact person on the team) we have to go from the airport, what money
to have ready for taxi or what transport to use. Even if you plan to
provide transport it is still good to have that because something
might go wrong upon arrival (missing each other etc).
Cheers
