We're looking to offer at least three options for accommodations. We
are almost done with securing contracts for all of them, so I imagine
that the system will be available around next Friday if not this time
next week.

Hello Katherine, and other Wikimania attendees!
We were waiting for contracts to be signed before announcing hotels. Once
the contracts are signed, the hotels have to make a registration page
dedicated to Wikimania. My understanding is that it takes 2-3 days following
contract signing for the booking to appear online.
Sincerely,

It would be helpful if you could give us a sense of how soon "shortly" is.
This week? This month?

Hello,
I am used that the organizing team books hotel rooms for attendees, so
that
one does not have to look for himself, or find someone to share a room,
wonder how to go from the hotel to the venue, etc. You just choose your
accomodation when registering.
But it looks like this time we are on our own, as it is written
"Accommodations will be handled separately from registration." More
details
are supposed to be available "soon" (since January in fact)
What are those details (a list of hotels (and we manage everything by
ourselves) or an accomodation form (and the organizing team manages the
booking)) and when will they be available? Wikimedia is in 100 days
from
now,
Regards,
Sylvain.
