Fwd: Privacy of registration data
by phoebe ayers 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Forwarding message for HaeB. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: HaeB <haebwiki(a)gmail.com> Date: 2010/6/16 Subject: Privacy of registration data To: wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi, by its nature, the Wikimania registration form at https://wm10reg.wikimedia.org/ needs to ask for sensitive personal information. However, it currently does not state what this information will be used for and who will have access to it. I was told that the usual Wikimedia privacy policy applies - could we add a link to it on the registration form, for clarification? (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy) Thanks! As a general remark, the privacy of Wikimania registration data has been an issue in the past. While for example the Buenos Aires team appears to have been very diligent in that regard, there have been at least two other Wikimanias where real names of participants were posted on the Web, against their will. Regards, HaeB http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:HaeB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:HaeB

Regarding the VISA Invitation Letter
by Shiju Alex 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Now we have less than 20 days left for the conference. As you know, for most of the countries outside EU/USA, VISA is mandatory to enter POLAND. To apply for a Polish VISA from my country (INDIA), the INVITATION LETTER (in Polish language) addressed to the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland <http://www.polishconsulate.com/contact.html> in Mumbai is mandatory. (That might be the case with most of the non-EU/USA countries). This INVITATION LETTER need to be faxed directly to Consulate General, and a scanned copy/photo copy of that letter is mandatory along with the VISA application that we submit to the consulate. Otherwise our VISA applications will not be processed by the travel agencies. *My VISA is not yet processed since I haven't received a copy of this letter. *Could some one please help me (and many other Wikimaninas) regarding this.I am sending this letter to this group since I am not receiving any reply for any of the mails that I sent regarding this. Kindly remember that the system in many countries will not work as per European/US standards. Considering that this is an international conference, it would be good if there is some one there at the other end who can handle these type of issues. We are helpless if we are not getting support from the Polish Wikimedians who are organizing this event. Shiju

Bonjour, Tout dabord, cest mon premier essai dinstallation dune ferme de wikis jusquà présent, javais quelques wikis, mais fonctionnant tous de façon autonome (toute la config dans des répertoires séparés) : /var/www/wiki001 (et tous ses répertories) /var/www/wiki002 (et tous ses répertories) /var/www/wiki003 (et tous ses répertories) Jaimerais avoir plutôt ceci (chaque wiki ayant sa propre database, mais partageant les skins, les extensions, etc) : /var/www/wikicode (contenant les skins, les extensions, etc) /var/www/wiki001 (avec seulement le répertoire images) /var/www/wiki002 (avec seulement le répertoire images) /var/www/wiki002 (avec seulement le répertoire images) Je crois comprendre quil faut installer MW à partir de /var/www/wikicode, puis déplacer LocalSettings.php vers /var/www/wikicode, puis le renommer wiki001_LocalSettings.php et refaire 3 fois (dans lexemple) linstallation, le déplacement et le renommage, pour obtenir en bout de ligne : wiki001_LocalSettings.php, wiki002_LocalSettings.php et wiki003_LocalSettings.php. Cela fait, il faut créer un fichier LocalSettings.php, dans lequel on mettera uniquement ceci : Inspiré de ceci : http://booleandreams.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/running-multiple-instance-of-m ediawiki-on-the-same-server-using-the-same-source-code/ <?php $callingURL = strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); //the requesting url if ( strpos( $callingURL, 'mw001') ) { require_once('mw001_LocalSettings.php'); } else if ( strpos( $callingURL, ' mw002') ) { require_once('mw002_LocalSettings.php'); } else if ( strpos( $callingURL, ' mw003') ) { require_once('mw003_LocalSettings.php'); } ?> Eh ben ca ne fonctionne pas. Ca me donne une erreur à leffet quun fichier setup.php (plus certains de lerreur). Faut dire que je ne comprend pas trop ce que je copie du site cité plus haut, que je ne connais strictement rien au PHP et que jy vais un peu à laveuglette Et déjà, je ne suis pas certain de lURL que je dois appeler (http://localhost/... ???) Si quelquun pouvait maiguiller (en langage simple svp ;-))) Merci davance ! Pierre

Registration update (hopefully the last one, honest)
by Austin Hair 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hey guys, Accommodation is finally more or less sorted out. I've finally got most of the information I need, and simplified the options so nobody has to choose among the seven different hotels and fifty different room types. Unfortunately, there are still one or two variables that I'm trying to resolve right now. I've also made sure that you guys can pay us—the preferred option is PayPal, but if that's not convenient for you, you can make arrangements via a wire transfer or some other method. I'm working on this full-time, so I'll try to accommodate you as best I can; just give me advance notice if I have to work out the conversion rate between złotys and shiny beads. The next e-mail from me should be a notice that registration is online. Even if it's not, you'll have something in a matter of hours. Austin

I just had a concern that what day will the party for attendees on, I wonder if it is on the 11th, as that night will be the time of the FIFA world cup final so I doubt those soccer fans will find a pub rather than stay in the party :P Jerry~雨雨 Jeromy-Yu Maximilian Chan, ARAD User:Yuyu | zh.wikipedia | Wikimedia HK ChapCom, WMF | ComCom, WMF Blogger | http://jeromyu.wordpress.com MSN: jeromyuchan(a)msn.com also Jeromyu on twitter, plurk and most of places Tel (Mobile): +852 9279 1601 Laudamus quae laudentur Qui mollis et dissolutus est in opere suo frater est sua opera dissipantis Non clamatis hostilia, numquam esse vos accusatoribus

Wikimania 2010 Review Results
by Jankowski, Jacek 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Dear all, We are happy to announce that we finally finished the review process. The decisions as to which submissions to accept were made after careful reviews by a number of qualified professionals around the world. The list of all the results can be found here: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Review_results. All submitted papers have gone through a rigorous reviewing process: 1) Each paper has been assigned to at least two program committee members, and disagreements among reviewers have been carefully considered. 2) Some presentation proposals have also been reviewed by external reviewers on the public Wikimania 2010 wiki. If you are the author, please read the remainder of this email carefully, as it lists several deliverables and deadlines that you must adhere to. You are required to provide a short summary of your presentation by *June 18*. It will be used in the final program to help people decide what sessions to go see. We ask you to include a 30-word contribution & benefits statement next to your submission's title in the table with the results (in the "Summary" column). We also ask you to confirm your presentation by putting the "x" mark in the "Confirmed" column. As you start getting ready for your Wikimania presentation, we invite you to prepare a 30-second preview of your work to present at Wikimania Madness. Wikimania Madness is one of the only events at Wikimania that brings all attendees together. You can find detailed information at: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Madness. We will follow up closer to the conference with additional information about your madness presentation. Registration will be open shortly and we urge you to register early at http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration. You can also find the Advance Program shortly at http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program. We are looking forward to meeting you at the conference in Gdansk. Best regards, Wikimania Program Committee
