Dear all,
I agree about the frustration that everybody went through looking around for rooms, I salute the effort that Ravi, Satdeep and Punjabi Wikimedia community gave to put all of is in a pretty good and safe place.

I completely agree with Karthik. Everyone has taken a lot of pain yesterday and it was a difficult time for all. But the patience everyone had showed is incredible. I was probably the last person to be on the lobby last (mid)night to find Ravi and other friends who were going there room to sleep. He didn't say "good night" to me in the first place but said if you have any problem, come down to our room. They have taken a lot of pain in getting such a huge event arranged. What they have done needs a lot of applause. Let's hope the coming days are going to be good. Here's a small shoutout by yours truly as part of the communist spotlight (all thanks to Ed Erhart of WMF): https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/08/04/digest-konkani-unite/
