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.
We will be announcing our hotels shortly.
Sincerely, James Hare Coordinator, Wikimania 2012

It would be helpful if you could give us a sense of how soon "shortly" is. This week? This month?

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.

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

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.

Thanks James! It just makes it easier for me to plan my office's week ahead if I know what's happening.
All the best,

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.

Our original plan with the third hotel did not work out as we planned, so that has set us back about a week or so. But the upside to this is that we're going to get a better deal for all of you. So stay tuned! :-)
In the meantime, if your chapter is offering its own scholarship independent of the WMF scholarship and you would like to be guaranteed beds in the hostel for your attendees traveling on scholarship, if you would like to work with us to get hotel rooms for your chapter board or staff, or you would like to do group registration for your chapter, please fill out the form here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHgtSnhBSGtPaUFXRlozNmFtSFZ3VVE6MQ#gid=0. I am extended the deadline by a week.
