Incidentally, if anyone here is responsible for their chapter's hotel booking for Wikimania, and you haven't already talked to me, you need to email me NOW.

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.

Would someone be able to give us a rough idea of when that might be?

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,
Nicholas Michael Bashour President Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC, USA

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.
