Hotel prices seem too expensive.
I went back and checked the bid:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Bids/Washington,_D.C.
It specificaly mentioned cheaper options - and to be specific - hostels for 48$
per night.
Most wikipedians can not afford much more (we are talking about
At least there will be plenty of dorms available if I'm reading the
bidhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Bids/Washington,_D.C.#Accommodations,
for 24$ a bed with double occupancy. These were at least confirmed already
*in the bid* so I guess we can have those up soon, a year later :)
Hi James,
I would like to strongly suggest to communicate this to all people that
registered. If 150 USD is going to be the cheapest you can provide (and for
most people it is just way out of their range) it is only fair to tell them

Dear organizing team,
Thanks for offering 4 check-boxes for the details on the badge! May I ask,
how will the details be presented? I think it'll be a useful piece of
information for many of us whose username is the same as our real name. If

I would recommend putting square brackets (and maybe User:) around the
username whenever both real name and username are supplied. It's seldom
immediately obvious which name is the username and which name is the real
name if you don't speak the other person's mother language!

For security reasons, the first and last name MUST be on the badge. Only
the username and affiliation can be optional. Those who do not want their

Israel has very tight security and I'm pretty sure they didn't insist on
printing real names on badges.
Genuinely tight security does not require outing pseudonymous wikimanians.
If I go to DC it will be my first trip to the US since I received a death

It seems it might be worth getting someone new to help manage *nothing
but* the public communication about lodging -- from confirming details
to updating wiki pages to answering questions on mailnig lists --
