Saturday Night: Dress for the Wiki-Fashion Show!
by Pharos 10 Aug '24

10 Aug '24

A show of wiki-fashion, in all its forms, as modeled by Wikimedians, will be one aspect of Saturday night's closing party. Show off your style and creativity by dressing up as your favorite wiki-related project, character, concept, or meme. You're encouraged to come dressed in your finest and most eccentric Wikimedia clothing and accessories (shirts, socks, scarves, hats, bags, buttons, laptop covers, even books), or clothing connected to the topics you edit on wiki projects. Show off your getup on the runway and tell the origin story of how you got them!

Dear all, There will be a neurodiverse Wikimedians' meetup at 12:15-13:15 on 10 August (tomorrow) in front of Grdansk Hall (I am sorry, this is the last-minute addition, the rooms are all booked, and it is a hangout space near the hall). If you are interested in it, go to the space and look for Sae, a woman holding a plush toy of a green bear. KITAMURA Sae

Rumors about an unofficial Wikimania 2024 opening party: fact or fiction?
by Siebrand Mazeland 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

🎉 So I heard a rumor that the UNOFFICIAL Wikimania 2024 opening party starts at Absurdalna tonight at 21:00 hours. Can anyone confirm? ‼️ Some say it’s a crazy cool brewpub with the occasional salsa 💃 dancing, having cozy corners, as well as wide open seating areas, and outdoor seating in lounge chairs… It’s all news to me!
