*PLEASE*
Can you provide at least *ANY* information about the Wikimania schedule *NOW*?! At least when will the first session start and when will the last session end?
I am think am not the only one who is waiting since weeks to book flights and accommodation. Because of limited time and money I may need to arrive at Friday and/or leave at Sunday, so because lack of a schedule I still cannot say whether to come to Wikimania at all. Wikimania should start in two weeks?!
I still remember how I did the last schedule changes in the night before Wikimania 2005 and on schedule page http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule you see me changing the program of Wikimania 2007 during the event, so I really understand that sometimes its a always a bit chaotic and disorganized - but people need at least some *basic* information. The longer you wait the more people will cancel their participation.

The information in the attached schedule is out of date. We will post the final schedule soon.
It would be helpful at least to have *any* preliminary schedule instead of this intransparency and to have a tight date instead of "soon".
Sorry for pushing but it *is* urgent, Jakob
Dear all,
On June 17th I posted the first draft of the schedule on this list (see: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimania2010_-_ProgramSche duleFirstDraft.pdf) - I am sorry if you have not noticed... The new and slightly updated schedule can be found here: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWikimania201 0_-_ProgramScheduleSecondDraft.pdf. We hope to publish the final schedule this weekend.
Best regards, Jacek Jankowski Wikimania2010 PC Chair

I am not sure if there is a consensus on the terminology. The two pdf files you references are a template, not a program. Is there any chance to get to see where the actual talks are scheduled right now?

Dear Mathias, dear all,
This is exactly what we are working on at the moment. We finally got responses (confirmations + summaries) from all the authors (from today unconfirmed presentations AND presentations without 30-word summaries are considered as CANCELLED). Without this information (who is coming and who is not) it is difficult to work on the program. As I said, we hope to publish the "final" schedule (with actual talks) this weekend.
Best, Jacek Jankowski

Just a suggestion, maybe it'll help to inform the attendees the time of the first and last sessions, first, ahead of the schedule release as they'll have to finalize their accommodation and travel details.

Dear Jacek,
Thanks for sending us the program schedule. However, there's a trip to Festiwal Rzeźby z Piasku (Przymorze) in the schedule. DO you mind what that is in English? I tried Googling it but the results were all in Polish.
Regards
Abbas Mahmood

"Festiwal Rzeźby z Piasku" means Festival of Sand Sculptures and it takes palce on beach in Przymorze (district of Gdańsk). Here you can see some photos from previous year: http://www.rzezbyzpiasku.pl/?r=2009&s=galeria
BTW A few weeks ago I've added on my userpage some events, which take place around Wikimania: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Leinad
