Can the organizing team check what they can do about it? If this is the situation today when only about 1\3 of the conference attends are here, things will be much worse in the next few days... Thanks, and i'm sure it's gonna be a great Wikimania!

It's been pretty good thus far for me in M108. Can get quite slow, though, perhaps understandably. Joe *Joseph Fox* enwp.org/user:foxj On 8 August 2013 10:58, Itzik Edri <itzik(a)infra.co.il> wrote:

Here's a tip: WiFi works quite well in an empty room. Not perfect, but okay. I'm rather surprised that in a polytechnical university, there are no charging sockets in the lecture halls. Are the sockets cleverly hidden or do all the students here make notes on paper only? Raul On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 6:52 AM, Joseph Fox <josephfoxwiki(a)gmail.com> wrote:

If you study or work at an academic institution that supports eduroam: eduroam is also available here. It seems to work better for me than the wikimania network (and it's built to support the whole university, so should be able to handle a lot of load). I suggest that at least people with access to that try to use it as much as possible, to relieve the wikimania network a bit. Lodewijk 2013/8/8 Joseph Fox <josephfoxwiki(a)gmail.com>

In which room are you staying? If you are in the DevCamp room and you can use 5GHz (11a/part of 11n), you are strongly recommended to use WIKIMANIA-5G network instead of WIKIMANIA. --Takashi On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 11:46 AM, Itzik Edri <itzik(a)infra.co.il> wrote: > Can the organizing team check what they can do about it? > > If this is the situation today when only about 1\3 of the conference attends > are here, things will be much worse in the next few days... > > > Thanks, and i'm sure it's gonna be a great Wikimania! > Itzik > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimania-l mailing list > Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l > _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Itzik, thanks and the local team is working with PolyU staff to get better performance. PolyU seems to be very careful in siting their access points -- perhaps too careful, as I don't see any overlapping channels in some rooms! They also don't have 5Ghz capable access points all over campus. In the meantime, if your machine is capable of 5 Ghz / 802.11a, we've put a WIKIMANIA-5G access point in the dev areas and I'll keep consulting the local team to see where they can keep performance up.
