Iolanda, I find this entirely unsatisfactory:
“If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the
airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.”
The link never worked the many times I tried. Andy Mabbett and I have
reported to you the problems with the Eventbrite link being listed as
“unavailable.” Your current schedule says on a main travel day of Thursday,
23 June, only enough people (4?) have requested Malpensa -> Esino
transportation. I find that hard to believe considering the volume of folks
going to the conference.

Can we please get some more help for coordinating travel from the Wikimania
team? I feel we are working in the dark here. Thanks.

dear all
Everyone – who has got a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario and
received a confirmation from eventbrite – has accommodation in Esino Lario.
Marta and Patrizia have assigned all the beds.
You will be given your address and keys in Piazza Italia in Esino Lario at
your arrival; we expect you to arrive the 21st or the 23rd according to to
the 5 or 3 days ticket you got.
Marta will send you today some further information about your travel and
arrival.
Pleonastic, but
If you did not buy a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario, you don’t
have accommodation in Esino Lario.
If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the
airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport.
Eventually you can get worried if you don’t have an eventbrite
confirmation.
I personally consider wikipedians and wikimedians the most intelligent
people I can spend time with. We certainly pretend you to get to Esino
Lario, to find the right bus, to take the train in the right direction
(please note that Tirano is not Torino), to sign up for events and to read
(and cite) all necessary sources. Certainly… it’s the beginning of a great
adventure.

Nothing here, and with only a week to go before I start my travels. I
sympathise with the organisers who are being bombarded with all sorts of
questions and no doubt have many other things to worry about. I remember
how that felt in 2014. But these are not minor details for people
travelling long distances, especially for those of us who have taken time
off work and spent our own money to get there.
Could we trouble the organisers at least for a date by which we'll have
some information on where we're staying?
Thanks,
Harry

as elllie put on her previous emails, you will
receive details separately
very soon
A week has passed since the above reply; I'm concerned that I still
have no information about where I shall be staying, nor indeed whether
I have somewhere to stay. Does anyone else?
