Dear Wikimaniacs,
I hope you have all had a chance to look at the final program by now.
Three long days, but lots of amazing space to hang out and relax on
your own; of course noone is obliged to spend their conference time in
sessions ;-) We will have all the riverside seating and walkways
around the venue, and aside from an interlude in which a wedding party
is using the upstairs restaurant at our venue -- which should be fun
-- we will have full use of the Philharmonic during Wikimania.
We need another dozen or so volunteers to help with the sessions: we
are looking for room moderators (needed to moderate one room for at
least half a day), session chairs (helping disparate ideas and talks
integrate into a coherent discussion in the room), and general
room-helpers: people who can assist with technical issues that may
affect speakers and videographers, and help with crowd control and
cleanup.
If you are interested in any of these things, please leave a note on
the talk page of the main program, or let our program chair Jacek
Jankowski know.
More notes will be out shortly about where to start discussing your
own sessions -- every session will have its own talk page on the
maniawiki.
Thank you :-)
SJ
