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

I agree. Even a mail merge email would do the trick. ----- Original Message ---- From: Awadewit <awadewit(a)gmail.com> To: wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Sunday, June 8, 2008 11:29:03 AM Subject: 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

Visiting Egypt after Wikimania
by Maria Fanucchi 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

Hi everyone, I have a little problem concerning staying in Egypt after Wikimania: I have guaranteed lodging with a friend of my family who lives in Cairo, but as far as I know she'll be working all day and therefore not available for sightseeing. Now, I am the first to admit that I am the most scatterbrained, absent-minded person ever; I also freely admit that I get lost in supermarkets (even the one I use every week). I really, truly do. I am infamous for turning a street corner and then wondering which way I had come from. Family members place bets on how far I am from my intended destination whenever I go out. Honestly. I am afraid that if I go out alone in Cairo I will get seriously lost. My point is, are there any Wikimedians thinking of staying on in Cairo/elsewhere in Egypt after Wikimania? And if there is, would they mind having me tag along while sightseeing? I asked on the Wikimania IRC channel if it was OK to send this e-mail to the list. They said yes, but I apologize if anyone finds it too off-topic. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish to do so. Happy editing, --Maria User:Arria Belli

In urgent need of graphic designers for Wikimania posters
by Delphine Ménard 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

Hello all, we are looking at creating Posters and Flyers to advertise the conference in universities and such places around Alexandria, so as to increase our potential audience in the Arabic world. For that, we need people to help us design those flyers. They'll need to be in printable format (so something that is high resolution enough to be printed in the end) and graphics should be under a free license. I am looking for a team of two or three people ready to work with us on this. And I need this team to be assmebled by tomorrow night (Monday night) and be ready to deliver the first drafts on Thursday night. Any takers? Thank you for your help, Delphine PS. contact me at dmenard /at] wikimedia (punto) org for more info. -- ~notafish http://blog.notanendive.org NB. This gmail address is used for mailing lists.

Scholarship notifications
by Seth Anthony 29 May '08

29 May '08

All: I have not yet heard back regarding scholarship decisions for Wikimania. Several times during the past month, I sent an email to the scholarships address ( <wikimania-scholarships(a)wikimedia.org> ) inquiring when decisions would be announced, and I have not received a response. At this point, it may be impossible for me to attend even if I am awarded the full amount I originally requested, as travel prices have risen. Does anyone know when scholarship decisions will be announced? Since other summer plans I have are contingent on this information, it's important that I at least know when I will know as soon as possible. Thanks! -- Seth

1- When do early bird registrations close? Please update <http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration> with this information. 2- How many beds per dorm room? 3- Are there separate men's and women's dorms? Is it possible, practically speaking, for women to stay at the dorms? thanks, Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/

Registration problems
by Ray Saintonge 08 May '08

08 May '08

There seems to be some confusion about processing registrations. Two days ago I submitted registrations for both me and my son, Darren. For some reason the system chose to charge more for my son than for me. I immediately sent an e-mail to complain about this, and have received no reply. As to my own registration, which I had completed first, I then followed the links to make the payment by PayPal, but now I am advised that that payment has not been claimed. I would appreciate it if someone would deal with this. Thanks, Ray
