Re: [Wikimania-l] Category for monkey selfie of Wikimedians!
by Craig Franklin 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

I agree with Tom here, I find the whole monkey selfie thing to be rather tasteless and disrespectful. You might not agree with the arguments the photographer makes (and I don't), but there's no need for mockery and derision.

A message in the bottle for Pigsonthewings
by Luca Martinelli 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

My sincere apologies to EVERYONE who's not Pigsonthewings here, but... is (s)he in the list? I know that Cristian (from FDC) tried to redirect him/her to me yesterday, but it didn't work. I'll be 'round the Wikimedia Italy stand during lunch, I think, so if you're reading this, reach me there. :) -- Luca "Sannita" Martinelli http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Sannita

PGP Signing Lunch
by Osama Khalid 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Hello guys, Since many of us at Wikimania use PGP to sign and encrypt messages and software it is also a good chance to actually exchange, verify and sign the keys to help build a better Web of Trust among Wikipedains. If you are interested, come and join us during tomorrow's lunch break in the fourth level in the Conservatory. You will find a table with a 'PGP' sign on it. We will be there for 45 minutes from 13:15PM to 14:00PM. Regards,

Underground delays
by Joseph Fox 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Hey all, If you’re not yet at the venue, you might want to know about delays affecting the Underground this morning. Circle and Hammersmith & City are suffering severe delays thanks to a signal failure. Minor delays on some of the District and Metropolitan lines for the same reason. Part closures on Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines (which has been the case all week). And, as is customary … “Good service on all other lines” ;) best, Joe -- Joseph Fox Sent with Airmail
