Hi
I do not know who is supposed to take care of this, so sorry if I do not write at the right place. The biometric passport is finally available in my region, so I can ask one to get in Boston next year. This said, without an urgent procedure, I was told there was NO chance I would get the passport in time for Wikimania (they expect a time of roughly 3 months to get the passport without the special procedure). I consequently need pretty urgently an invitation so that we can justify the urgent procedure. Can someone send that to me ? Please mention that I would be a speaker at the conference.
Thanks a lot in advance

Complete the registration form[1], check all the right boxes, fill in all the right blanks. Ignore the threatening language. Magical gnomes will take care of everything.
(Off I go to write an invitation letter.)

I thought I already had completed the registration form... at least, I remember I filled up a form which looked like a registration form when I submitted my topic. maybe not... Well, I fill again and maybe I'll be 2 :-)

Errr, Austin...
If I do not pay, is the registration taken into account or not at all ?

Btw, talking of magical gnomes.... the form guessed all by itself I was french. Cool :-)

I'm just a bit too delighted that somebody else was impressed by that. (Strictly speaking, however, it figured out that you *spoke* French.)

Registration's dirty little secret is that unpaid registrations aren't *really* deleted after 48 hours. There's code in place to do it, it's just not switched on right now. Unpaid registrations sit around in the background, inactive, not doing anything until someone pays them off, at which point they pop up on my radar.
I can go looking for them, however, and I've just found yours.

This is fabulous.

Being a speaker should help; anyone who thinks they may need a visa letter should complete the registration form and get an invitation.

Which is worse? It's hard to say...
