Find someone to share a taxi with
by Kacie Harold 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Hello everyone, Many of you are about to begin your travel to Mexico City. This is so exciting! If you would like to coordinate with another participant to share a taxi from the airport, you can check the spreadsheet below to see if someone else is arriving around the same time as you are. I did not include email addresses because I don't know who is comfortable sharing that information, but you can coordinate on this email thread, or find the person you'd like to travel with in the Telegram group. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uD6ZsHjYEx_mOlhxrPuH-JU42_HBXxvECL… Remember, you can get reimbursed for travel to and from the airport, so take a photo of your taxi receipts (just in case you lose them). Check the travel page for information on how to book a taxi when you arrive at the airport, and for the location of the hotel. I hope you all have a safe trip! Best, Kacie

Wikidata session: Your input
by Alex Wang 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi All! We have found a great Wikimedian, Harmonia Amanda <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Harmonia_Amanda>, to lead a session about Wikidata since so many of you expressed interest in learning more. However, it would be great to know what specifically you'd like to learn! She can give an overview of the basic uses of Wikidata and how you can apply it to your work addressing the gender gap. She can also review a number of tools that work with Wikidata. Here is a list of tools she can teach: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Harmonia_Amanda#Tools If you have specific requests, please let us know so we can help tailor the sessions to your needs. Cheers, Alex -- Alexandra Wang Program Officer Community Resources Wikimedia Foundation <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home> +1 415-839-6885 Skype: alexvwang

Travel Insurance
by Kacie Harold 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hello travelers, If your flights were paid for by WMF you are covered by WMF's travel insurance policy. To my knowledge, the insurance only covers health related issues - if you are concerned about your property, you should purchase your own travel insurance policy. Attached is the travel insurance guide and policy numbers, if you need them. Below are instructions on how to use the card, and other helpful travel information. *We STRONGLY recommend not checking baggage*, but if you must check your bags, pack medication and a change of clothes in your carry on. *If you need to change your flights,* contact T&T travel. Monday - Friday 8:00 - 18:00 Pacific time:1-888-251-2033 Emergency after hours, including saturday and sunday: 1-888-734-8298 >From Mexico: 001-800-734-8298 International: call collect to 1-402-399-4667 *How to use travel insurance:* 1. Always carry your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID card <https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UHC_Global_Travel_Insurance_ID_Card.…> when traveling. Expatriates are covered on a full-time basis while on assignment. (If you are injured while you are working, the claim may be covered by worker's compensation - ask benefits associate for more information) 2. If you suffer a medical emergency, go immediately to the nearest physician or hospital without delay and then contact UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance. 3. For help with medical, travel, and security problems, call UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance using one of the country-specific toll-free numbers printed on the back of the card. If you are in a country not listed, call the Emergency Response Center collect (1-410-453-6330). 4. A multilingual Assistance Coordinator will ask your name, your organization's name, your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID number (shown on your ID card) and a description of the situation. 5. Assistance will be given and UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance will monitor your case until the situation is resolved.
