Hi John,
We're planning to have wifi in the venue, yes. A pack of Wikipedians without internet... is like football fans without vuvuzelas. Or something.
For everyone making a presentation, however, I would strongly urge you (just as a general rule of thumb) to bring a copy of the presentation with any screenshots you need on your laptop or on USB -- just in case the internet goes down at the critical moment when you need it to present!

Is Wi-Fi available in the accommodations, especially in the dorms?

No, is not.

I'm not sure about the other accommodations, but there is free wired internet access in every room here at the Dom Sonata (Akademia Muzyczna student dormitory no. 2). I didn't think it was a Wikimania dorm (booked it myself), but I met a fellow Wikimaniac this afternoon who said he was assigned here after registering for the conference. Anyways, someone with a router could give wifi to at least part of the building for those without their own ethernet cables, but I don't think it is that necessary.

Hi Stuart,
I'm at Dom Sonata and the lady in reception gave me a cable (a 2m one). If someone has no cable, just ask for it. I suppose in Dom Muzyka things would go alike.

Hi,
I'm in the Baltic Philharmonic. While I'm able to use wifi now, but it seems some wifi adapters or tools are not good to communicate with... It actually link on the wifi layer, but the DHCP server fails to deliver valid IP addresses, resulting to show the local link IP address (like 169.254.x.x).
- Lenovo's ThinkVantage Access Connections (on the ThinkPad): failed - Intel's PROSet Wireless WiFi utility: succeeded, but sometimes failed - iPad: mostly failed, but sometimes succeeded - iPhone: mostly failed, but sometimes succeeded
I'm not sure why such a phenomenon happens, or whether it depends on the wifi adapters or not, anyway, hopes this helps someone.

This is strange, because in the office we all use this wifi network and I haven't seen anyone having issues with it.
Make sure that you connect to the network with ESSID "3com1".

Thanks for that info, Manuel. I was trying with ESSID "filharmonia...(snip)". I will try "3com1" next time.

Per a quiet caution by Brion in 2008. If you're using *any* WiFi point in, or around, conference or accommodation areas, use https://secure.wikimedia.org.
Brian.
Per that helpful suggestion, the "https everywhere" extensionhttps://www.eff.org/https-everywherefor Firefox (courtesy the EFF) will automatically redirect you to the secure server.
