Hi all,
reading back through my mailbox, I encountered huge amounts of
announcements (mostly by Wikimedia Deutschland) about events taking place
in breaks of Wikimania. Without wanting to form an opinion about that just
yet, I would like to ask what you think about having many side events going
Thanks Lodewijk for bringing this up.
I had several discussions in the past, mostly when it was about the
future of Wikimania, when I told people that Wikimania should have less
parallel sessions, longer sessions with more time between the sessions
and an open space as an additional track.

Hey,
remember Wikimania Gdansk. After each plenary session in the morning, the
organisators asked all presentors to introduce their talk in about 1 min. A
great way to get a quick overview of what's happening.

Hi Maarten, Manuel,
all great suggestions/feedback, but I was wondering: what are your thoughts
about the break events specifically? Did you visit any? Did they make your
day more smooth or exhausted?

Hi all,
I am already back at home - thank you all for the great Wikimania.

I liked this in Gdańsk, but for an event the scale of HK it would take a
lot of time!
Agree that some kind of central display of the formal and informal
schedules would be very useful. And a big clock :)
Perhaps if we have another big screen, an occasional everything happening

yes I did visit them, almost every day. I think
OK, so if I understand correctly you feel it should not happen in breaks,
but rather as part of the regular schedule? Do you think that they should
be replaced in the breaks by other events, or should the breaks remain

breaks
Just what I wanted to say: breaks should be breaks. Having all breaks
covered by sessions is a great thing for people who never eat or rest.
Also, a great session can be rendered completely useless by hurry. I saw
one of those this year and it wasn't pretty. You have to give people time.

I would like to mention the same!
I was sad that they didn't mention Deryck on the stage! Without him, I wouldn't
be able to come to HK. He is the most helpful, organized, patiernt good
person.
Thank you Deryck for everything.

You have a thankful heart. What a pity we have chance to share more in the

Yes, we need contributors of technical knowledge and content.
Hey Teemu,
I'm back home now too, and you are unsubscribed. I'm not sure why the link
didn't work for you.
If anyone else needs help un/subscribing, let me know. Also remember that
you can stay subscribed and set the list to nomail. However, I think that
the big flurry of Wikimania-l emails is
And Deryck coordinated the program and made it work! He definitely played a
big role in the conference :)

Wikimedians who found Charles Mok's Wikimania speech (the Saturday
