WM2008 Coverage
by Aphaia 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Hi all, thanks for all your works and energy. Now I'm in Singapore for transit and already miss greatly Egypt. The conference was first blogged by Noam Cohen from NYT and he made further other coverage including a fantastic one about 'maniacs for Herald Tribune International. http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/07/21/business/link21.php A date is a bit old but many of us were off line then so it would be nice to have a reminder. Other coverage may be seen at: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=Wikimania&btnG=Search Enjoy! -- KIZU Naoko http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Britty (in Japanese) Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD

Post-conference activities in Cairo
by Aude 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

I know that many Wikimania attendees are staying in Egypt a bit longer for sightseeing or whatever. If you will be in Cairo at anytime after the conference and would like to meetup with other Wikimedians, please sign up on this page or let me know: * http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cairo - I am busy with my university program in Cairo, but will have some free time in the late afternoon and/or evenings. There are also organized tours (see the booth) if that's what you prefer. What I can help organize are informal activities. We could meet-up for dinner, a felucca ride on the Nile, go to Khan al-Khalili, or whatever. -Aude

I would like to issue another reminder for people to upload photos to Commons. I know a lot of people photographed me in my kilt and Wikinews T-shirt. Anyone seen any of these photos online? Brian McNeil

Permitted file format on WM2008 wiki
by Aphaia 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi I tried to upload my slides and be disallowed. I got the message "".odp" is not a permitted file type. Permitted file types are png, gif, jpg, jpeg, xcf, pdf, mid, ogg, svg, djvu." ODP is safe for us I think ... can we allow the users to upload just .odp?? If I need to convert it into ... what is your recommendation? Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Britty (in Japanese) Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD

by James R. 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

I'd just like to take the time to send this email to thank all those involved in planning and organising such a great Wikimania conference. It was great to be able to watch the streaming from here in Australia, and a big thanks to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina's ICT team for that! If you'd like to view any of the archived streams, you can see them at http://webcast.bibalex.org/WebCast/Home/More.aspx?ID=2. Regards, James R.

I will move to Cairo someday tomorrow perhaps in the afternoon (bus or train, not decided). Is anyone interested in sightseeing Alexandria together? Suppose we can meet in front of Bibalex and go wherever interesting. Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Britty (in Japanese) Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD

How to connect slides to schedule entries?
by Brianna Laugher 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hi, I uploaded the slides from my presentation to Wikimedia Commons. There is no wiki page at wikimania2008: that I can link them to, so I doubt anyone can find them. http://wm08reg.wikimedia.org/schedule/ doesn't seem to be editable. So how can images, video, audio and slides be connected between Commons & the actual presentations? I am a bit concerned that wm08reg might be turned off after the event, and because all the schedule information is only in it, that it would be lost. thanks, Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/
