[Wikimania-l] Please: at least any schedule information is needed now

[Jakob]

*PLEASE*

Can you provide at least *ANY* information about the Wikimania  
schedule *NOW*?! At least when will the first session start and when  
will the last session end?

I am think am not the only one who is waiting since weeks to book  
flights and accommodation. Because of limited time and money I may  
need to arrive at Friday and/or leave at Sunday, so because lack of a  
schedule I still cannot say whether to come to Wikimania at all.  
Wikimania should start in two weeks?!

I still remember how I did the last schedule changes in the night  
before Wikimania 2005 and on schedule page  
http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule you see me changing  
the program of Wikimania 2007 during the event, so I really understand  
that sometimes its a always a bit chaotic and disorganized - but  
people need at least some *basic* information. The longer you wait the  
more people will cancel their participation.

It would be helpful at least to have *any* preliminary schedule  
instead of this intransparency and to have a tight date instead of  
"soon".

Sorry for pushing but it *is* urgent,
