dear all Everyone – who has got a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario and received a confirmation from eventbrite – has accommodation in Esino Lario. Marta and Patrizia have assigned all the beds. You will be given your address and keys in Piazza Italia in Esino Lario at your arrival; we expect you to arrive the 21st or the 23rd according to to the 5 or 3 days ticket you got. Marta will send you today some further information about your travel and arrival. Pleonastic, but If you did not buy a ticket with accommodation in Esino Lario, you don’t have accommodation in Esino Lario. If you did not buy a ticket for your direct transport from and to the airport, you do not have direct transport from and to the airport. Eventually you can get worried if you don’t have an eventbrite confirmation. I personally consider wikipedians and wikimedians the most intelligent people I can spend time with. We certainly pretend you to get to Esino Lario, to find the right bus, to take the train in the right direction (please note that Tirano is not Torino), to sign up for events and to read (and cite) all necessary sources. Certainly… it’s the beginning of a great adventure. iolanda Il giorno 13 giu 2016, alle ore 13:03, Harry Mitchell &lt;hjmwiki(a)gmail.com&gt; ha scritto: Nothing here, and with only a week to go before I start my travels.

Dear Shani, I confirm that if you have registered on eventbrite for the ticket with accommodation then you have been allocated a place to stay in Esino. If you want more specific information please send an e-mail to wikimania-accommodations(a)wikimedia.org Thanks, Marta Il 13/06/16 14:32, Shani ha scritto: Iolanda, I have confirmation for the event itself, but I did not get any confirmation re accommodations. This has been filled out a long time ago and we have been waiting and waiting for an answer on accommodation. We were told it will be sent out this week. Now you are saying "you either have accommodation or you don't". This is very vague and many people do not know where they stand. Who can we contact to check what's happening and whether or not we have been allocated a place to stay? Thanks, Shani.

​Thanks, Marta. However, my specific case is not the most relevant here and I have to agree with Asaf -- people have been waiting patiently long enough and need details at this point. I am sure you are all doing your best and am confident that time and energy will be allocated to notify people individually, as done in previous similar events. Best, Shani.

Iolanda, for those of us traveling from outside of Europe, we will normally have to provide a proper destination address as part of our customs and immigration process. "Esino Lario" won't normally be enough; in fact, it's my experience that at least half the time when traveling to Europe, I have had to show my reservation confirmation. We also need our destination address to include it in our luggage so that if it is misdirected, there is still some chance that it might find us before the conference is over. Having had my luggage go missing on more than one transatlantic flight - knowing that my destination address is well identified in association with my luggage is a Big Deal. Again, just "Esino Lario" isn't going to cut it. An actual address is required.

Dear Andrew, the link worked, it has been active until the 31st of may and we have received a number of bookings for the bus transfer from the airport to Esino and back. It was closed on the 31st in order for us to define the number of buses and set a timetable.

Hi Ellie, Op 14-6-2016 om 21:11 schreef Ellie Young: The team is about to send information out to everyone who has registered for the conference with accommodation package (today). All that information will be there. I received an email with some information, but not where I'm staying exactly and with who. I'm not feeling very comfortable traveling without knowing this information beforehand and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Why are you keeping this secret?

If there is no any script able to do it automatically using data from database that it is a lot of work for someone. Or maybe - such database does not exist - and our keys will be given to us somehow randomly :-) We can later call it Italian Roulette :-) If the information is in a google spreadsheet and we're already using google apps for mail, then script for this is somewhat trivial within google docs. (and maybe i could provide some help with this) Cheers, Katie 2016-06-15 22:30 GMT+02:00 Maarten Dammers &lt;maarten(a)mdammers.nl <mailto:maarten@mdammers.nl>>: Hi Ellie, Op 14-6-2016 om 21:11 schreef Ellie Young: I received an email with some information, but not where I'm staying exactly and with who.
