Re: [Wikimania-l] Local phone numbers for communication

Thanks Samuel! Does someone know about data usage on prepaid cards in Poland? I am interested in getting a prepaid card in Poland for my smartphone to do both calls and sending/receiving mails. /Manuel -- Urspr. Mitt. -- Betreff: Re: [Wikimania-l] Local phone numbers for communication Von: Samuel Klein <meta.sj(a)gmail.com> Datum: 03.07.2010 21:09 You can get a "PLAY" sim card at any small market. (put it in your phone, get on the PLAY network, wait until you get a confirmation by SMS in a few minutes.) There's no charge, you simply pay for credit. you can get a 5 or 15 zl card anywhere, and add credit online. SMS'es are 0.5 zl each . I haven't yet tested what calls cost.

Future of wikimania session
by phoebe ayers 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello all, Following up on the conversation about a potential long-term wikimania comittee, I would like to have a "future of wikimania" discussion (apparently this is now an annual event!) where we can talk about the comittee and other ideas. I propose meeting Sunday over lunch, in the lunch area or open space. I'll also start a wiki page to collect ideas from those who can't attend. Note: I have no interest in making this a session for complaining or analyzing past years - please do this elsewhere. Let's come prepared to talk about the future. Phoebe -- Sent from my mobile device -- WikiSym 2010: July 7-9 | http://wikisym.org/ws2010

Food & Football tonight - Germany/Spain
by Liam Wyatt 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Following last night's great game we'll be doing it again! Tonight is ze Germans against España for the right to play the Dutch in the final. Meet at 18:30 out the front of the Philharmonie. Then we will take the ferry across the river to the Taverna Dominikanska which is immediately on the opposite side (where the pirateship is). This is a nice place with good food and a big screen - they seemed to like us yesterday even though Eugene broke his chair. The place WILL fill up as the game starts - this is why we are getting there early to eat. See you at the Philharmonie at 18:30. -Liam, Lodewijk, Maarten.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Dormitory : sleeping bag and towels ?
by Manuel Schneider 07 Jul '10

Just asked your fellow sleepers that are already here and staying at a dorm: You have to bring towels, but linen etc. are provided. Have a good trip! /Manuel -- Urspr. Mitt. -- Betreff: [Wikimania-l] Dormitory : sleeping bag and towels ? Von: Jean-Frédéric <jeanfrederic.wiki(a)gmail.com> Datum: 07.07.2010 19:54 Hello folks, For the dormitory option, does one need a sleeping bag and towels ? (I asked this on inquiries@ a few days ago, but I guess the organisation team has other stuff on their heads than these kind of trivial matter :-) Those already there probably have the answer) I'm packing tonight. See you all tomorrow in Gdansk !

biking tour gdansk
by Lodewijk 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

hey all, maarten liam and I will be taking a biking tour, and i just ordered three bicycles here outside the venue. it is quite easy (especially if you have a polish person to make the actual call :) ) and they delevired within hours. if you also want to cycle - with us or by yourself, you can also order bikes through www.telebike.pl - call them at +48 504 57 66 47. gdansk is a wonderful city to cycle! at the tourist office they also give a wonderful help btw, it is located at the long street just across the bridge near the infamous Holland House. They also give out cycling maps! best, Lodewijk

IMPORTANT: accomodation in Gdansk for someone arriving 0h40
by Everton Zanella Alvarenga 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hi, a friend from Wikimedia Brasil, Alexandre Hannud Abdo <abdo at member dot fsf dot org>, is arriving by train on July 9 at 0h40. He is coming from Italy and this was the best option he could find to attend Wikimania and he has also been granted with a scholarship. We need to know the following these important things: 1) Which ho(s)tel was booked for him? We *must* inform for this ho(s)tel staff a person is arring this time (some ho(s)tels don't allow checkin at this time). 2) Are there taxis this time to go to his place? I'm arriving on July 8 at 17h30 and haven't also been informed where to go, but reading the Wikimania mailing list, I'm thinking to go to Philarmonica and find someone from Wikimania. But Alexandre is in a sittuation where it's VERY important to know his place. I hope this email won't be ignored, Tom 2010/7/6 Everton Zanella Alvarenga <everton137(a)gmail.com>: > Hi, I'm leaving in 1,5 day. Is there any chance to know which ho(s)tel > have you booked for me?

Re: [Wikimania-l] Local phone numbers for communication

Hi Peter, when you arrive at Gdansk Glowny (main station) there is a Orange shop just across the street, a bit right you see a shopping mall, there next the entrance to the mall. The offer a prepaid card that allows usage for both phone calls and internet. They sell the SIM with 20 zl in the account for 20 zl. If you just need a SIM for phone calls better go with Play which you can get very easily and which are most used among Wikimaniacs. For Orange what you have to do is: * tell the guy at the entrance that you want to buy the POP prepaid card with the "FREE" offer for mobile internet * he will give you a ticket with a number, the number will be called when it is your turn to proceed to the counter * after they have registered your SIM card (no ID or anything needed!) you will receive an invoice which you have to pay upstairs at the cassier desk * back at the counter you get your SIM card * ask the person at the counter to do the initial call to the operator for you to switch the language from polish to english, then all subsequent messages (also operator messages like your account balance) will be in english * you should send a SMS with "FREE" to 3033 to activate the special FREE offer with 0,01 zl per 100 kb. * you will receive the APN configuration as SMS, the PIN is 1234 (not documented I had to brute force that) The whole process took for me about 20 minutes, the SIM was activated instantly. /Manuel -- Urspr.
