Three years ago, Jeromy and I got kicked out from the Wikimania dorms at Danzig a day earlier than what we thought our booking covered.

So it is with a lot of irony and embarrassment that we find ourselves causing such confusion with our booking forms. While processing dormitory applications, we realized that the application form mistakenly left the night of 12 August as an option, even though dormitory accommodation is not available on that day. The accommodation details on the Wikimania 2013 wiki and other parts of the registration system are correct.

The erroneous option has since been removed. Those who are affected by this bug have been contacted off-list. Alternative accommodation is being arranged for the minority of affected attendees who stated that they need accommodation on the night of 12 August.
