Meet with the Affiliations Committee at Wikimania
by Manuel Schneider 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Dear all, the Affiliations Committee has a room in the School at Wikimania - room 50. You can meet the Affiliations Committee every day from 10:30 to 17:30 in that room. If you have any questions, idea or need to discuss something, or want to learn more about the Wikimedia movement affiliates, please come to see us. Please note that we are open for private discussions as well. As some discussions need privacy we may put a sign on the door "private meeting" which means that we'd like you to come back a later time and respect the privacy. Thank you! There is a "user digest session" on Sunday, 11:00 - 11:30 in the Gym Palace (underneath the tent - you can take the Wikimania train to get there). We are looking forward meeting you! Best regards, for the AffCom, Manuel -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens www.wikimedia.ch

Possibly the largest ever number of Wikipedians in residence is going to convene tomorrow (Saturday) at a meetup during Wikimania 2016. If you are/were a Wikipedian in residence, please come on Sat 25 Jun 2016 at 10:00 to room 50 of the Esino Lario school. Details: https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups/Wikipedians_in_residence One of our ideas is to take a group picture to better illustrate the Wikipedia article on Wikipedians in residence, so please be accurate, as we need to be all in one place at the same time! :) -- Marek Blahuš (User:Blahma) Wikipedian in residence at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic

No parking in Pensa's square
by Ilario Valdelli 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hi all, there is a prohibition of parkng in the Pensa's square (near the community village). The local police asked to park the cars in other parking area. At the moment there is a French jeep parked there, the local police is looking for the owner to ask him/her to move it in another place. If you need a place to store your material for the village, it's sufficient to go in the town hall and the local police will give the access to the storage area. KInd regards Ilario

no laundry service in town...
by Lane Rasberry 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hello, It seems that there is no laundry service available in Esino Lario. The main hotel, Hotel Centrale, also does not offer clothes washing service. I was hoping for access to any public washing machine. Is everybody washing their own laundry in the sink? Can I get confirmation about what others are doing? I also hear that there is no laundry service in Varenna, 30 minutes away. Thanks, -- Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry on Wikipedia 206.801.0814 lane(a)bluerasberry.com

[semi-OT] The Floating Piers closed for maintenance from Thu, 23rd 24:00 to Fri, 24th 07:30 AM
by Cristian Consonni 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hi all, I am relaying these information here since I have received some requests for assistance on this matter. You may have heard about the art installation "The Floating Piers"[1] by Bulgarian artist Christo, which is open from June,18th to July, 3rd on Lake Iseo not too far (~ 2 hours by train) from here and you may be planning to visit it maybe after Wikimania. The installation is having a huge success and some limitations are being enforced by authorities to ensure the safety of visitors. In particular Trenord websites (trains in Lombardy) says[2]: « ... [the Floating Piers] will be closed for maintenance from 24:00 on Thu, Jun 23rd to 07:30 [AM] on Fri, 24th» Please note that *besides the strike* (from 21:00 on Jun 23rd, to 21:00 on Fri, June 24th) , the trains indicated in this page have been *eliminated*: http://www.trenord.it/it/media-news/avvisi/%E2%80%9Cthe-floating-piers%E2%8… The page above also says: --- Due to the exceptional number of visitor to the installation "The Floating Piers" authorities could order the temporary suppression of the stop in SULZANO. In this case, the closest stations are ISEO (south of SULZANO) and SALE MARASINO (north of SULZANO). In the periods of greatest access the access times may require long wait, even in the range of hours. WE INVITE ALL VISITORS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ANNOUNCEMENTS GIVEN AT THE STATION AND THE NOTIFICATIONS OF THE PERSONNEL. --- You should also visit the official website of the installation for more info: http://www.thefloatingpiers.com Ciao, C [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Floating_Piers [2] http://www.trenord.it/it/free-time/the-floating-piers/the-floating-piers-bi…
