Bus from Airport to the Venue
by Takashi OTA 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi lists, I recently noticed that registration has already been open, as well as the buses from airports to Esino Lario. https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2016-airport-transfers-tickets-22670… If you're already booked your flights and you know your flight number and arrival time, you can buy the tickets for the buses. My question is: my flight arrives 20:55 (of Jun 23rd, AZ419) at Milano-Linate Airport, and is such late arrival expected to be picked up by the bus to Esino Lario? If not, I will (or have to) change my flight(s). --Takashi U:Takot

Arrival date + Wikimania Takes Lake Como
by Rehman Abubakr 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi, Can someone shed light on the preferred arrival date for Wikimania? The Programme page has dates listed from June 21 to June 28, but 21st, 27th, and 28th are left blank. Also, Wikimania Takes Lake Como (WTLC) is planned four days prior to 23rd (20th-23rd?). Does that mean folks who would like to attend this, needs to arrive on the 19th? I've posted this on the wiki as well, but I did not get a clear response. So I'm posting here to reach a wider audience. P.s. You might also be interested in this thread: https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Programme#Pre_and_post-confer… Thanks, User:Rehman

Catering
by Sebastian Wallroth 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Dear organizers, I have a few questions regarding the catering in Esino Lario. The registration page offers three kinds of tickets for 5 days Hackathon + Conference: Full ticket: 500 EUR Full ticket without accommodation: 300 EUR Simple ticket: 35 EUR The difference between full ticket w/o acc. and simple ticket (300 EUR - 35 EUR = 265 EUR) comes from 5 x (lunch + dinner). This leads to an average price of 26,50 EUR for a lunch or a dinner. 1. Is this a normal price for a meal in Esino Lario? 2. Are there possibilities for participants with a simple ticket to buy lunch and dinner during the conference? Kind regards, Sebastian

Friendly Space Policy
by Matthew Flaschen 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

The registration form says: "I agree to read and abide by the Friendly Space policy, full details of the policy can be found below or at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to providing a harassment-free venue and conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion—and not limited to these aspects. We do not tolerate any form of harassment of conference participants. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue or talks. Any participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organizers." The second paragraph is the first paragraph of the https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy , which means "full details" are not below. It should either just include the full policy inline (simpler), or say something like: "I agree to read and abide by the Friendly Space policy, found at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy . An excerpt is below: The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to providing a harassment-free venue and conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion—and not limited to these aspects.

Return journey
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, I was filling up the travel details form ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1M5iU2fn38sLxYOlb-PkVzneZiVHc9pwbgzVxeRFCfY… the travel details form) and got stuck in the return journey section. The following line is written in that section of the form - *Return Journey; you will be departing from Milan on 27th June, Travelling to which city/airport?* Now, what if, someone want to travel for few days after conference or attend for the post-conference events and return from another airport other than Milan. It seems that there is no such option in the form to plan for the travel. Its a bit confusing. Can someone from the scholarship team help with this. -- Bodhisattwa
