Andy,
So to clarify as best I can again (I'm really not trying add to the
confusion only to clarify): as a partial scholarship recipient you were
responsible for your travel arrangements. If you didn't buy a ticket on
Eventbrite that the conference organizers offered for the direct shuttle
(the offer was on the registration page but is no longer operable), then I
think you might want to wait to hear from the conference organizers about
whether or not there will be extra seats available on those shuttles for
people who want to pay/arrange now or when they get there.
If you end up not being able to obtain a ride on the direct shuttle, it's
really pretty straightforward to do the transport from the airports to
Esino Lario via public transportation.

So not "All people with a WMF scholarship", as was stated by Iolanda
just seven hours ago? I'm sure it is now clear why some of us are
increasingly concerned about the current situation.
But in case it is not, I also received an email from you three hours
ago, saying:
Hello WMF Full and Partial Scholarship Recipients,
Please note the following:
[...]
Travel to and from Esino Lario from Linate and Malpensa
airports: If you are arriving on June 21 or 23 from these
airports, you have a pre-paid, reserved seat on the direct
shuttle buses departing from there on those dates. (You
also have the same if you are returning back to those airports
on June 27 from Esino Lario.) Please see the following link
for those schedules:
To emphasise, that's "WMF Full and Partial Scholarship Recipients" in
your first mail, as opposed to "All WMF Full Scholarship recipients"
in your latest.
As a partial scholarship recipient, I am utterly confused.
I believe the organizers will be posting
information about how /whether
you
there will be room for additional people beyond
this group and the people
who purchased early on tickets, soon.
I'm not able to parse parts of the above, and I'm not clear what is
meant by "the people who purchased early on tickets". Tickets for
buses, or tickets for Wikimania? How early? How can we tell if that
applies to us?
