Hey, all-
I'm trying to plan my Wikimania travel, and wondering if anyone has had better luck than I had. Specifically:
I've found recently that I prefer, instead of multiple flight connections, the closest direct flight I can from SFO and then train. For example, there is no direct SFO -> Stockholm, but you can direct SFO -> Copenhagen and then a pleasant train directly from the Copenhagen airport to Stockholm.
So far I am... not having much luck on this for Katowice. Looks like the best I can do is direct flight to Frankfurt and then multiple (3+ changes) trains from Frankfurt to Katowice. I worry about connections because neither the German nor Polish train systems seem to have a great reputation for timeliness and I'd hate to miss connections.
Anyone had better luck, or alternative suggestions in a similar vein?
Thanks in advance, and look forward to seeing some of you there-
Luis

Hi everyone!
You can find the notes and shared links from today's meetup [on this etherpad](https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/bawug), featuring discussions on the use of AI for editing, needs for local pictures, delays in a transit construction project in Boston, efforts to import datasets from the Free Law Project to Wikidata, and how Indian History is represented on Wikipedia.
Next meetup: [July 11, 6.30-8.30pm](https://bookwhen.com/sequoiafabrica/e/ev-s36g-20240711183000) (please rsvp if you can, it helps with logistics), at 1736 18th street! We have invited a local researcher to present on research on AI tools in editing wikipedia, since there's a lot of interest in this.
We are also planning a Wiki Picnic (Wiknic) on Saturday August 17, 11am-2pm, at Mission Dolores Park (near Bart 16th/Mission in San Francisco).
Hope everyone is doing well!Emeline and Elan
