The dorms will be staffed by Wikimania volunteers. Just turn up and we'll check you in.
About a week before Wikimania we will email all dorm users with joining instructions. We'll also ask you when you want to arrive at the dorms. We will try to make sure a local volunteer is available for most of 6-8 August daytime and whenever people said they'd arrive. One of us will also carry a "panic phone", which can be contacted 24/7.
If you need to pay by cash, please do so when you register at the venue (PolyU). Feel free to check in at the dorms first (esp. if you arrive on 6 August or during the night) and go to the venue to register and pay afterwards.
There is some communal space but no cafeteria in the building. Breakfast is available at the venue 8-9am and during the morning coffee break every day (7-11 August).
There will be shuttles from the dorms to the venue each morning. If you miss the shuttle, you can also take the train. Kowloon Tong station is 15min walk from the dorms; train from Kowloon Tong to Hung Hom is 6min; Hung Hom station is connected to PolyU by a bridge.

Can someone explain the dorm room check-in procedure? Is the desk open 24/7? How is payment to be effected: credit/debit card or cash only? Is there a cafeteria and/or lounge in the building? From when will the transport to and from the conference venue be available and at what times? Sorry if this info has all been previously posted elsewhere.

Can you send a mass email to everyone who has paid assuring them of registration and telling them more details will be forthcoming?
Thanks

As of now we still have more rooms than people who have signed up for them. So everyone so far who has requested a dorm room and paid their conference registration (or is a scholarship recipient) will get a dorm room.
Caveat: the accommodation form has previously caused some confusion. The latest check out date from the dorms is 12 August, not 13 August. On 17 Jul 2013 10:32, "Matthew Pintar" matthew.pintar@gmail.com wrote:
I registered for accommodations in the dorms over a month ago, but I

never received any confirmation about this. With less than three weeks until the start of the conference, would it be possible to let me know

only
says that my registration has been received. Does this mean I have a
