Dear all,
On June 17th I posted the first draft of the schedule on this list (see: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimania2010_-_ProgramSche duleFirstDraft.pdf) - I am sorry if you have not noticed... The new and slightly updated schedule can be found here: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWikimania201 0_-_ProgramScheduleSecondDraft.pdf. We hope to publish the final schedule this weekend.
Best regards, Jacek Jankowski Wikimania2010 PC Chair

*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.

Do you know when the venue will open on Friday and when Wikimania will close on Sunday?

The information in the attached schedule is out of date. We will post the final schedule soon.
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, Jakob
