Re: [Wikimania-l] Coming to Wikimania? Help other delegates find you
Hi all, I was wondering if we could use this page for travel co-ordination as well, by providing separate space for noting down the arrival time, departure time and the arriving airport? If possible, we could add details about the arriving/departing flights too, in which case people arriving on same flights can conduct mini-meetups while on air or while at airport :-) On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 7:43 PM, Richard Symonds < richard.symo...@wikimedia.org.uk> wrote: > I rather like the new one, I have to say! > On 24 Jul 2014 12:05, "Edward Saperia" wrote: > >> I know about the Attendees page, but it's been in use for many months and >> people may not have had visas accepted or changed their plans since, plus >> this collects additional information. >> >> *Edward Saperia* >> Conference Director Wikimania London <http://www.wikimanialondon.org> >> email • facebook >> <http://www.facebook.com/edsaperia> • twitter >> <http://www.twitter.com/edsaperia> • 07796955572 >> 133-135 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DG >> >> >> On 24 July 2014 11:53, Chris McKenna >> wrote: >> >>> Yes we do, although they record different things.

Hi Deryck, I am a WMF scholarship holder from India. On the online form, I mentioned my dates requiring accommodation as from 8th to 11th August 2013. Now, I have changed my travel plans, and I will be arriving a day earlier than previously anticipated, i.e on the 7th of August 2013. Can you please help me to change my accommodation booking so that I will be booked in for the dorm from 7th to 11th 2013? Thank you!
