Re: [Wikimania-l] Soumaya reception

19 Jul 2015

To add to Asaf ' s list of "don'ts" can I suggest for future
Wikimanias:

DON'T rely on buses to make round trips to get to venues

DON'T try to squeeze the whole attendance of the event through one
revolving door to a venue

DON'T advertise "food and drink " when you mean a glass of fruit juice and
finger food

DON'T hold the group photo at a venue away from the main conference

DON'T have music so loud it obliterates conversation

  According to a volunteer at the registration desk just
now, three buses
 leave at 7:00, drop people at the museum, and then come back to pick up the
 rest.  I think this means:

 1. DON'T assume the bus won't leave BEFORE 7:30, or at 7:30.

 2. DON'T assume there will be room on the later trip if too many people
 choose that instead of the earlier trip.

 In other words, to ensure you make it to the museum with the buses, you
 should probably be at the lobby at 7:00 and STAY there if you don't get on
 the first trip, so that you don't miss the second one.

  I will probably take a return taxi earlier;
probably not too hard for
 people to arrange groups to do so as well!

  Sounds nice since 7.6km is rather a long walk for
an evening in
 unfamiliar place :)
