Catering
by Sebastian Wallroth 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Dear organizers, I have a few questions regarding the catering in Esino Lario. The registration page offers three kinds of tickets for 5 days Hackathon + Conference: Full ticket: 500 EUR Full ticket without accommodation: 300 EUR Simple ticket: 35 EUR The difference between full ticket w/o acc. and simple ticket (300 EUR - 35 EUR = 265 EUR) comes from 5 x (lunch + dinner). This leads to an average price of 26,50 EUR for a lunch or a dinner. 1. Is this a normal price for a meal in Esino Lario? 2. Are there possibilities for participants with a simple ticket to buy lunch and dinner during the conference? Kind regards, Sebastian

Friendly Space Policy
by Matthew Flaschen 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

The registration form says: "I agree to read and abide by the Friendly Space policy, full details of the policy can be found below or at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to providing a harassment-free venue and conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion—and not limited to these aspects. We do not tolerate any form of harassment of conference participants. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue or talks. Any participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organizers." The second paragraph is the first paragraph of the https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy , which means "full details" are not below. It should either just include the full policy inline (simpler), or say something like: "I agree to read and abide by the Friendly Space policy, found at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy . An excerpt is below: The Wikimedia Foundation is dedicated to providing a harassment-free venue and conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion—and not limited to these aspects.

Return journey
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, I was filling up the travel details form ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1M5iU2fn38sLxYOlb-PkVzneZiVHc9pwbgzVxeRFCfY… the travel details form) and got stuck in the return journey section. The following line is written in that section of the form - *Return Journey; you will be departing from Milan on 27th June, Travelling to which city/airport?* Now, what if, someone want to travel for few days after conference or attend for the post-conference events and return from another airport other than Milan. It seems that there is no such option in the form to plan for the travel. Its a bit confusing. Can someone from the scholarship team help with this. -- Bodhisattwa

Camera insurance
by Pine W 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

For those Wikimedians with cameras, particularly for those who go to conferences like Wikimania where I believe that camera theft has happened in the past, I'd like to make the suggestion that you consider purchasing insurance for your cameras, lenses, and any related gear. If you have homeowner's or renter's insurance then you may be able to purchase supplemental coverage for your camera that will travel with you outside of your home, possibly including international travel. Take care, Pine

Call for posters, discussions and trainings at Wikimania opened
by Ginevra Sanvitale 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

(Sorry for the crossposting) Hi people, the calls for posters, discussions and trainings for Wikimania 2016 are officially opened, you can find all the relevant links on the conference wiki: https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions The calls will be closed on March 20. Posters will be reviewed just to make sure that there aren't things which are too much out of scope. Since we have a whole village we will surely find places to attach them, even if we they will be a lot! Discussions will be managed by a guiding committee who will work on the wiki to meld all the proposals and suggestions. Trainings will be reviewed by the programme committee. Please note that we request that each training has at least 3-5 interested attendees in order to be put in the programme. By the beginning of April we will have a first list of all the accepted proposals. If you have questions we suggest you to ask them on the discussion pages on wiki, so that everyone will be able to see them (and their answers, of course). We are looking forward to read your ideas! Ginevra Wikimania 2016 Programme Committee
