Registration to the hackathon
by Thomas Tanon 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hello, I am a long term Wikisource contributor and a volunteer MediaWiki developer (I maintain, between other things, the ProofreadPage extension [0]). I would like to register to the Wikimania 2014 conference and hackathon but the two forms ([1] and [2]) do not provide any way to register to the hackathon. How should I do it? Many thanks for your help, Thomas (User:Tpt) Note: I'm sponsored by Wikimedia France [0] http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Proofread_Page [1] https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2014-registration-11063436035 [2] https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2014-paypal-registration-11969883243

Did the organizers of Wikimania 2014 are not active any more?
by Nasir Khan 17 Jun '14

Hi, Anyone can help me to find the person who is coordinating or communicating with the participants who got the scholarship for the Wikimania 2014 ? I am trying to communicate with the scholarship team and sent email (to wikimania14scholarships(a)wikimedia.org) about 5days ago. But none of the team members feel that they should reply at least with an acknowledgement. Even i tried to contact with 'Edward Saperia' (via ed(a)wikimanialondon.org) about 2days ago. But same scenario. So i am thinking that i might be knocking the wrong door and there might be some other person who is responsible for this. Please help me to find the right person.

Currently the only payment method for registration as far as I can find is by credit card. Are more payment options planned and/or considered? --Martijn

Paypal-registration is live.
by stuart prior 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi,/* Due to popular demand I have created an alternative Eventbrite registration page that will handle Paypal. Additionally, we have extended the Early-Bird price to July 1st, so that those that couldn't pay by credit card are not disadvantaged by missing out. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2014-paypal-registration-11969883243 Please contact me if you encounter any problems with registration using this site and I will respond asap.

Thistle City Barbican fully booked?
by Claudia Garád 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi Wikimania-team! We tried to book one more room at the Thistle today (according to the website today should be the last day for registration). However, the hotel website claims that the Wikimania rates are not available anymore. Is the hotel fully booked? Or might there be some confusion concering the deadline? Are there any other recommendations for people who don't have a room yet? Thanks Claudia -- Claudia Garád Geschäftsführerin Wikimedia Österreich - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens www.wikimedia.at <http://www.wikimedia.at>

Live captioning for future plenaries?
by Sumana Harihareswara 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

http://composition.al/blog/2014/05/31/your-next-conference-should-have-real… I went to this conference and it worked out really well. As the Computer-Assisted Realtime Transcription (CART) captioner writes at http://stenoknight.com/demo.html : > When an event needs to be made inclusive, projecting the CART display > for the benefit of the entire room can be the best way to provide > universal access for Deaf, late deafened, and hard of hearing people, > as well as people who might have some degree of hearing loss but who > don’t self-identify as hard of hearing or deaf. CART is also useful > for English language learners and people with dyslexia, auditory > processing disorder, or ADHD. When the CART display is available to > every audience member, no one has to feel singled out or as if > they’re demanding special privileges. Everyone benefits. Live transcriptionists can work onsite, or can work remotely via an audio feed and then stream the text remotely onto a screen at the venue. And you can often use the resulting transcript and - with trivial editing - put it up within days of the event. This particular conference (!!Con) was able to get a sponsor to pay specifically for the captioning. I'd like to suggest that Wikimanias from 2016 onward also try to do this, at least for the plenary sessions, and perhaps additionally for sessions where we especially want to welcome Deaf participants and/or people with less fluent English. -- Sumana Harihareswara Senior Technical Writer Wikimedia Foundation

Re: [Wikimania-l] Registration payment options

In Wikimania Haifa we allowed payment and registration in cash on site at the conference. I know this is possible as well in London, so what is the problem. those who pay in cash do not receive a T shirt.
