Kaltura and Wikimania collaborative video editing
by Jay Walsh 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hey all, Kaltura - who are kind benefactors of Wikimania this year, wanted to pass on the following invite to those who are participating in Wikimania - or those who may not be able to. They've got two lonely videos on there right now. Consider uploading your travel videos for some open-source collaboration/editing. Add as many other videos as you can come across while you're in Alexandria. If you can't make it, why not edit a video or add some reflections or views of your own? (PS, freshly blogged at http://blog.wikimedia.org/2008/07/08/kaltura-and-wikimania-08-collaborative…) Thanks! Jay Walsh, Head of Communications Here's the invitation from Lisa Bennet, Director of Public Relations and Marketing, Kaltura — Hi Everyone, As Wikimania is right around the corner, we’ve added a new great way to share information about the event. I would like to invite you to the Wikimania Video Site where you can create collaborative videos. The site already has some videos where people can add their expectations for the event or share why they can’t join us this year, and there will be computer stations at Wikimania for attendees to add videos and pictures in real-time from Alexandria. Hopefully, it will be a great resource for people that could not be there in person to see the highlights, and for the attendees to document the event. Check it out at: http://www.kaltura.com/devwiki/index.php/Wikimania_Video_Site The site is hosted on the Kaltura devwiki and uses the collaborative video technology from Kaltura, which the Foundation partnered with late last year to explore adding videos to Wikipedia and other projects. You’re invited to share your experiences from Wikimania, play with the technology, and provide your feedback.

by effe iets anders 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Dear all, All people who have registered (with or without accomodation) before or on June 15 and received a confirmation email, have booked successfully. It is still possible to register *with* accomodation. However, since the rooms are no longer guarentueed, please contact the registration team before making payments. This is to make sure there is still a free spot for you in one of the accomodations nearby the venue. Please contact the team at wikimania-registration at wikimedia dot org. Best regards, Lodewijk Gelauff

Hi all, please see the travel coordination page:http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Travel_coordination This includes a timeline, but the scaling is bad. Could someone please take a look at it and fix it? The table worked great last year! Once that is done, please invite everybody to add their data too! Best regards, Lodewijk

Accessibility question
by effe iets anders 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi all, On OTRS (wikimania-info queue) I got a question about the accessibility with wheelchairs both in the venue (I assume this is OK) and the transport between cairo and alexandria. https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=… is the ticket. Could someone from the local team help out with this? This attendee also would like a mobile phone number for emergencies. If someone can help me with helping this lady, please :) Thanks a lot! Best regards, Lodewijk

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania-l Digest, Vol 32, Issue 3

It is simply common courtesy to respond to everyone to applied, letting them know whether they were granted a scholarship or not. Not everyone is subscribed to this list, for example. I am rather shocked that at least a general "We are sorry, but we are unable to fund you" email is not being sent out to those who did not receive scholarships. Thanks, Awadewit
