Confirmation submission status
by David Gómez 03 Aug '14

Hi, if my proposal of presentation [*] is still in "open" status and it isn't in the program, I have to consider that it has been discarded? Just to confirm it. Thanks. Dvdgmz [*] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Do_you_want_to_be_the_…

Re: [Wikimania-l] Confirmation submission status

In fact, my submission is still "open" but it's not included in the schedule. However, I got to the conclusion that it had been rejected when I didn't get any message at all. As Cooper says, this is something that future organizers may have to take into account. In other Wikimanias (this is my fifth) I remember having received a message stating that my submission had been accepted. But, as this is the first time that it's not, I thought that only successful candidates received messages. It's good to know that. See you there soon, J. Gustavo GóngoraUser:Góngoraes.wiki, ca.wiki

Hi, is the Oyster card included in the registration package in any form? (As for example the fare card for 10 rides was for the Washington Wikimania attendants in 2012) Balazs

Just be aware that they're expecting baggage issues this weekend (after last weekend). [1] The advice is to pack essentials in hand luggage. Sam [1] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-28603529

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. I will arrive in London on August 6. However, I am wondering: what would be the less expensive travel option reach the venue or the hotel?

Bring your old broken laptops to Wikimania!
by HJ Mitchell 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hi all, One of our volunteers asked me to put out a call for broken laptops. If you have a broken laptop and you want somebody to help you fix it or you just want to see it recycled, please bring it along to Wikimania! I imagine lots of us will have broken laptops knocking around, and this could be a great opportunity to bring them back to life or to recycle them properly. So we have an idea of demand, please email me off-list if you're interested. Thanks, Harry Mitchellhttp://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: +44 (0) 7507 536971 Skype: harry_j_mitchell
