Some conferences do, but then it is a big courtesy. The Wikimania team advises to buy an Octopus card to make your journeys and payments a smooth experience. So the answer is implicit: there won't be day passes for Wikimaniacs. On the one hand the network seems too extensive to offer that, on the other hand there are more than 200 public transport companies in Hong Kong, there is no single pass for all of them. Octopus, which is a RFID based, neutral payment system is the best operability you can get. Regards, Manuel

Panic phones!
by Deryck Chan 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hello Wikimaniacs, Because we're here to show you awesome hospitality, there will be two panic phones at Wikimania 2013! They are: (+852) 97657894 - Deryck Chan (general enquiries & HKBU dormitory) (+852) 90772757 - Samuel Chan (transport & PolyU venue) If you're in panic, just call either of us regardless of what your problem actually is. Both of us are prepared to handle any problem our fellow Wikimaniacs might have :) *Save these numbers into your phones now!* Both numbers are temporary numbers which are posted publicly for the purposes of Wikimania 2013, and will be disposed of afterwards. Our personal numbers will also remain operational throughout Wikmania. See you in Hong Kong! Deryck & Samuel

Hi. Are there Europlug/Schuko to BS1363 adapters available in Hong Kong? I couldn't find any in my country. Where can I buy one for myself? -- З павагай, Павел Селіцкас/Pavel Selitskas Wizardist @ Wikimedia projects

Chapters Village: One village, many chapters, three days long
by Nicole Ebber 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Heja Wikimaniacs, if you were wondering what Bence was talking about in yesterday’s mail when mentioning something called “Chapters Village” THIS is the email you should not miss to read. Yes, yes, this year there will be a dedicated area for chapters (and other Wikimedia organisations) to present their work, exchange knowledge, talk, inform, socialise and have fun: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_Village. You can find us in the Logo Square. The Chapters Village will be “open” from Friday till Sunday, during regular conference hours. It is not designed to provide a counter programme to the official conference, this is why we have scheduled meet-ups and speed geeking during the coffee, tea and lunch breaks. The programme appears in the official programme brochure; on top of that, we have printed a nice leaflet to spread on-site. Here's the PDF file: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chapters-village_web_120dpi.pdf You can find the detailed (and always up-to-date) programme here: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_Village#Programme:_Join_in… At the moment, we have 13 chapters and organisations planning to be part of the Chapters Village already. But you can still join in! Just add your plans and ideas to the wiki page. You are all invited to swing by and say hi, to catch up on the chapters’ projects, plans and programmes, to ask all the questions you always wanted to ask chapters and talk to us about your idea of our common mission. Feel free to get in touch should you have any questions or ideas to share. Looking forward to seeing you in Hong Kong.
