Live video streams?
by Erik Zachte 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hi, Will there be video registration of the talks? If yes, will there be real-time video streaming? I can't find a link on the Wikimania web site, or an announcement on Twitter or Facebook. If not, when do you expect those videos will be online? Thanks, and have a nice conference! Erik Zachte

Didn't See the Greeters - But No Worries
by Jack LEE 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi, Were the greeters at the airport on 6 August? My plane landed around 10:00 am and by the time I had cleared immigration and picked up my luggage it was probably around 10:30-11:00 am. I looked around but didn't see any Wikimania greeters. No worries, though, as I've been to Hong Kong before and knew where I was going. However, I was just wondering. Cheers, Jack Lee (User:Smuconlaw)

Hong Kong tips
by Sumana Harihareswara 08 Aug '13

I happened to get this and thought others might like it. -Sumana -------- Original Message -------- Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:22:09 +0900 From: Jon Robson <jrobson(a)wikimedia.org> I just arrived so thought I'd share a few of my findings so far in case they are useful. Hong Kong express train is 100HKD and takes you directly to Kowloon or Hong Kong Station. I'm staying in Hong Kong island at the moment and grabbed a taxi from the HK station. 3 mile taxi cost me about HKD40. I'm guessing the airport has them but I arrived jetlagged and late so I delayed getting one and Des Voeux Road near Central/Hong Kong station has lots of sim cards with data plans [1] for all you data nerds.. I got a data prepaid sim card there from the 3Shop for HKD$198. It was a little confusing but I'm pretty sure it will cover me for my whole trip (see if you can decipher the plan - they all look like this [2]) It's worth getting one as the mobile Wikipedia Nearby page shows a few places in need of photos - I already sorted one of them out :-) [3]. It's very hot and wearing jeans is the worst idea ever. I just spent a day in them and from now on I will be wearing 3/4 length cargo pants. The shopping malls are the best refuges ever in this heat, when walking make sure one is always nearby. I already found an awesome Michelin starred dim sum place for all you dim sum lovers. I'd recommend a visit whilst here [4]. See you all soon!

Buying a new phone
by mb-one＠gmx.de 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

One day before the main conference starts, my phone wont work any more. So I need to buy a new one. It doesn't need to be fancy, but it has to be Android based. Can I expect to get something for less than 1000 HKD? Any suggestions? Best MB-one
