Hello all,
I wanted to say a big thank you (THANK YOU!) to those GLAM Night Out
volunteers -many who volunteered in the final hour- to help greet at the
door and register attendees. Your help is very appreciated and you were
invaluable to the event!
Thank you to all who were able to make it, and I'm sorry to the many who
made the trip to the Newseum and were not able to get in. I regret that
this was the case, and I do wish that we could have had everyone be able to
come inside. I truly appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. I
hope that everyone still otherwise had a pleasant evening, either at the
Happy Hour or elsewhere, and I apologize again for those who were unable to
register.
Also, thanks to WM:DC, particularly Nicholas and Katie, who were so
gracious in letting us tack on this (unofficial) event and for coming by
the Newseum as well.
Many, many thanks all around -
Lori

Me, and possibly Panyd if it's not too far. I'm trying to track down the
other people in the hotel - there are ten or twenty of us - but we're a bit
scattered!

Some general conference-going tips, borrowed from other conferences:
* Label your laptop charger just as you would your luggage -- use a
luggage tag, or stick some adhesive tape on and write your name on that.
* 5-2-1 rule: each day of the event, get at least 5 hours of sleep, 2
real meals, and 1 shower.
* Each day, spend 30 minutes outside the venue, doing something that has
nothing to do with the conference.
* If you are overwhelmed or tired, it is OKAY to go back to your room
and nap. You can't catch everything. Don't wear yourself out.
* Searching for recent tweets about Wikimania:
http://www.icerocket.com/search?tab=twitter&lng=&q=wikimania
* If you're staying in a hotel where your room gets cleaned every day by
the hotel staff, it's polite to leave a tip (gratuity) each night. I
budget 1 dollar per person per night, and leave it on the bedside table
with a note simply saying "thank you, housekeeping!" to make it clear
that it's for them.
* Thank the volunteers when you have a chance. They make this work.

How can I find a list of all activities during the period of conference
(registration required or not), such as GLAM night out, etc <003997.html>?
In order to get registered on time.
So, both the Newseum party or Zoomph party are booked out. Is there an
alternative night out for those who didn't manage to register for either?
Deryck
Sounds like a plan
