2016-2017 report for Wikipedia Connection student group
by Kevin Payravi 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi all, I'm pleased to share Wikipedia Connection's annual report for the 2016-2017 school year. < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Connection/Annual_Reports… > Wikipedia Connection (< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Connection>) is a student organization at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The group, run entirely by students with faculty support, hosts edit-a-thons, workshops, presentations, photo hunts, and more on campus. The 2016-2017 report summarizes all the year's events, which brought in > 130 campus participants through the year. In addition to Wikipedia Connection, there have been Wikipedia student organizations at Michigan University, Cambridge, National Taiwan University, Pune, and a few more places. Wikipedia student organizations are relatively lowkey on the global scale. Hopefully this report showcases some of the things that can be done with universities - I think there's a lot of potential for Wikipedia student groups around the world, and documenting the process of setting up and running Wikipedia student organizations is a project I'm planning for the near future. Thanks, Kevin Payravi SuperHamster on en.wiki

Folk dances workshop, today and tomorrow evening
by Léa Lacroix 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hello, all Wikimania attendees! I hope you're enjoying your first day of conference :) Tonight and tomorrow, among the other social events, I'm running a folk dances workshop. Don't be scared, it's open to everyone, very funny and a good way to relax after a long day sitting on a chair! You will hear a short performance of folk songs from *Bretagne* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany>, learn some simple dances involving moving your small fingers and jumping on your feet, and make new friends around. If you want to try the dances or just listen to the music, join us at one of the two sessions: * Friday 11.08 and Saturday 12.08 * *from 9pm to 10pm* * in the room *Drummond West* (*3rd floor*, at the end of the corridor after the posters) Can't wait to meet you there *\o/* Léa @Auregann

I don't see any information on how to get to the airport from the hotel/dorms on the wiki, only the other way round. Can somenoe point out where it is, or give some info on how/where to get tickets, what payment methods are accepted, where the stop is etc.?
