Hi all,
I found a Logitech's wireless mouse with USB dongle at the red
sofa in the first floor. I'll keep it until the concert starts, and will
deposit it to the reception desk.

Hi,
Can anyone advise which rooms have power outlets? It doesn't seem like
the main concert hall has any outlets.
thanks
Brianna

Hi
I am unable to attend Wikimania due to visa delay.
I have a talk scheduled on saturday afternoon.
http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule#Translation
"A Review on Google Translation: ..."
1. Can I do my talk remotely? (Skype, phone conference?)
2. Or may be I can send a PPT along with a recorded audio file? (since I am
not sure of electric power situation in my hometown during the event)
followed by a phone conference for questions from audience?
3. Another option is asking a fellow Tamil Wikipedian to present.
I will prefer option 2.
Please let me know. I miss Wikimania :(

Hi folks,
After tomorrow's keynote speech by Sue Gardner, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees, now with new officers and a new additional member, will participate in an open public question and answer session in the main hall of the Wikimania venue.
After introductions you will be welcome to use microphones to ask questions, but you can also submit your questions in advance on this meta page I've created for that purpose:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/BoardQA
We'll refresh the page through the session, but please consider posting a question before we get started.
Thanks!

Hi,
now I'm sitting on bed along a chest besides my bed, since the line is
too short for me to work on the desk and
it's quite annoying in particular for me who need to make talks from right now.
While I'm happy to have a connection - it's really great - if I can
work on the desk and a stable chair,
not comfortable for lying but not for sitting because it's way soft
and unstable for sitting for hours -
it's triple-hyper-super-more than great. Really.
So back to the subject: is there wi-fi connection is or will be
available at Doms? Doms I'd say, because
there are two doms (both are quite near btw) and I guess everyone
lodging at dorms would love to know that.
A digression but another interest of many people still: are there two
and only two dorms for maniacs?
If so, many people will just be able to come to the Music Academy and
pay a visit to two dorms (Dom Sonata
and Dom Muzika) just in a few minutes, instead of trekking with
luggage from the Philharmonic.
Witam!

Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD
Hello, all!
I am the author of http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Interlanguage_links_in_… ,
which was accepted and scheduled by Wikimania 2010 program committee,
and, I hope, will be performed.
It's not a time to discuss such problems now,
but I have one request, or proposal, quite urgent, you will find it below.
Despite the antidiscriminational stance of the Foundation,
not all our users can attend to Wikimania,
even if they are physically able to do it.
These possible troubles include immigration concerns of authorities of the venue site
(this is my case, see http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Incnis_Mrsi ),
politically motivated restrictions,
social suppressing or intimidation of particular groups or individuals,
hostile climate or environment (though I am not sure that such case is ever possible).
Two previous Wikimanias took place in counties
with not so strong immigration policy as in European Union.
So, my proposal follows.
At Wikimania wiki site, let us make some visual distinction
for nicknames of users, which have both a time and a will
to participate in Wikimania (of a particular year),
but can not attend because of troubles mentioned above.
For my own case I propose a solution on JS, in http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Incnis_Mrsi/standard.js ,
it italicizes links to my nick and may be used in MediaWiki:Commons.js .
I do now know whether somebody else was refused to get in,
but the code may easily modified to serve a list of several nicknames.
Such code should be used in all subsequent Wikimania-year wiki-sites
with list of italicized nicknames generated for each year.
This may serve as a feedback to choose Wikimania sites carefully
in the future.
Some readers may think that I am a rouge whose entrance to Schengen zone
was denied due to some offences. It is certainly false.
Indeed, I am ready to prove that I have not
any negative track in my country of origin, nor in some other ones.
Thank you for your attention!
Regards, Incnis Mrsi
Hello all:
I've just been informed of some news by the person in charge of
conference accommodations. Those registrants who are awaiting
accommodation information and who have not yet received it by email may
come to the conference venue (The Filharmonica) and receive those
details after 1700 CEST.
Information as to how to get to the venue is located here:
<http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Venue>.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi guys,
I know the "matter of hours" in my last update turned into a matter of
days, but much to my dismay, the issue of payment still hasn't been
resolved.
While we're working on this, however, you can go ahead and register.
The public announcement will come in the next day or two, once we have
this sorted out; those of you who choose to register now will get an
e-mail at that time with instructions on how to pay.
The address is: https://wm10reg.wikimedia.org/
Sorry for the delay, folks. Things will hopefully go exponentially
more smoothly as we get caught up.
Austin
