OpenPGP keysigning party
by Tzafrir Cohen 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi folks, I just realized that while we're gathered here from all over the planet, there wasn't any OpenPGP keysigning party[1] planned. So, at a late notice, I plan one today at 14:00 (after lunch) at the hall in front of Greg bar (near the front desk). Instructions: * English: http://keysigning.org/methods/adhoc * Hebrew: * http://wiki.hamakor.org.il/index.php/%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%91%D7%AA_%D7%94%… I suspect most of you[2] will not paper slips ready. We may have to cut some corners and rely on taking pictures of the key+fingerprint. In that case, you must consider the picture as the hard copy: verify it is readable after taking it. Also make sure you have a way to tell which keys are OK (e.g.: taking a picture of a key marks the person as verified). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party [3] [2] "you": potential participants. Others may stop read this message now, and miss the last footnote. [3] And no. no drinks allowed -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzafrir(a)jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzafrir(a)cohens.org.il | | best tzafrir(a)debian.org | | friend

shuttles
by Lodewijk 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I understand that the shuttles tonight are already leaving at 19:30 and there will be no other public transport? (wondering about the mentioned free time activities and how realistic that is, in that light :) ) Lodewijk

Dead Sea
by Samat 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi! I'd also like to travel to Dead Sea after Wikimania (probably on 8th August), but I don't need to get back on the same day. Is there any possibility to travel there by public transportation (if yes, how)? Thanks a lot! Samat ------------------------------ Don't count on public transportation for that. Either take a taxi (very expensive), or rent a car...

Hi, If you need vegetarian food, please ask the catering staff for it. There's more than just salads - there are hot vegetarian and vegan main courses. If the waiter doesn't know this, please the waiters' manager. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Wikimania LGBT and Friends Outing Tonight
by James Owen 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Dear All, Sorry to spam three lists with this but not everyone is on Wikimania-l, and I know there are a lot of attendees at Wikimania who are on Internal-l. So to give a little contextual history, over the past few years at Wikimania a group of LGBT and LGBT friendly attendees of Wikimania have meet at a gay bar or restaurant to socialize. This year this is a little tricky as there are very few gay establishments in Haifa, I have however found what looks like a promising gay friendly club downtown that some of use might like to visit this evening (Friday night). If you are interested to join your fellow LGBT and LGBT friendly wikimedians we are going to meet at the Dan Panorama lobby bar between 21:00-21:45 for a drink and then whoever is interested will travel to Syncopa which I am told is a gay friendly bar in old-town Haifa. Syncopa is located near the Paris Square subway stop, however the subway will be closed for the Sabbath so we will share taxis, I estimate the taxi cost wont be much more than 10 shekels each (if we get about 4 people in the cab). Below are the addressed for the Dan Panorama and Syncopa, if you have any questions or know of a better bar in Haifa please email me off list. If you have any friends who are not on Wikimania-l or Internal-l who you think might like to join us please feel free to forward my email to them. Dan Panorama Lobby Bar 107 Hanassi Avenue (a 7 minute walk from the venue just past the subway station) The lobby bar is located the floor above the hotel entrance and reception just go past the reception and up the stairs. Map- http://tinyurl.com/3fmgj9y Syncapa Bar Wyatt 5, corner Nathanson 1 Website in Hebrew- http://www.2eat.co.il/syncopa/ Map- http://tinyurl.com/3f3wlwb Look forward to seeing some of you this evening.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Cena iberoamericana hoy viernes noche

Just to note that there is no difficulty finding open places tonight, as opposed perhpas to Jerusalem. Harel -----Original message----- From: Galileo Vidoni Sent: 05/08/2011, 09:21 To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) Subject: [Wikimania-l] Cena iberoamericana hoy viernes noche // disclaimer for wikimania-l: this is about an Ibero-American dinner we're planning for today // Estimados: Los muchachos de Wikimedia Argentina+Chile pensamos que hoy, aprovechando que tenemos libre después de la conferencia, puede ser un buen día para armar una cena iberoamericana e irnos a comer juntos todos los de Iberocoop y/o hablantes de portugués, español o portuñol. Como sabrán, hoy comienza el Shabbat, por lo que encontrar dónde comer no va a ser tarea fácil. Nos recomendaron ir a cenar comida tradicional al barrio árabe de Haifa, Wadi Nisnas, que lógicamente va a estar abierto. Nosotros al término de la conferencia tenemos ganas de ir a visitar los jardines Baha'i --posiblemente en taxi, porque ya estaremos en Shabbat--. Quienes quieran, están más que invitados a venir con nosotros. Luego nos podríamos encontrar a las 20 en la puerta de Wikimanía para ir a comer todos juntos. ¿Qué les parece? En este mapa pueden verse la ubicación de la sede de Wikimanía, los jardines Baha'i y Wadi Nisnas: http://cor.to/WM11 Saludos, galio
