Re: [Wikimania-l] How to get a pre-paid SIM card for Wikimania in 15 easy steps
Thanks Siebrand for your detailed instruction. I tried this, and I believed I could be back in 30 minutes or so, but it took 70 min. actually. Because... 1. The clerk let me try (already activated) data SIM to confirm it is really unlocked and data connection is available, however, it was not working at first. The reason it didn't work was installed APN profile (used in Japan) was not suitable for it. My advice: remove the current profile in advance. 2. After that, purchased SIM just did not work. When inserted, No SIM sign didn't disappear. I showed him another SIM works, and this was a problem of the given SIM, not my iPhone's. Finally, he tried his iPhone 6 and confirmed that this was a problem of the SIM. It took me 20+ minutes... My advice: don't believe that SIM always works. And make sure to detect what is the problem. Anyway I managed to got it. Hope you do it successfully. --Takashi [[User:Takot]] On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 1:00 AM, Siebrand Mazeland siebr...@kitano.nl wrote: 1.

Re: [Wikimania-l] How to get a pre-paid SIM card for Wikimania in 15 easy steps
Thanks Siebrand, this was really helpful. I have asked at the reception, they said a nearby oxxo store has sim cards. I was there, but they only had regular sim cards, and I needed micro sim (nexus 4, android 5). I went to Telcel. It was easier than expected (after looking at your instructions) but it is strangely complicated just to buy a sim card. The only step I did not need is calling a number.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimedia Cuteness Meetup
Will this board meeting of the venerable Association be held in the cutest of the conference rooms, at the cutest point in the schedule? And what about transparency of this nefariously cute cabal? Are all of these warm-blooded cuddly animals in fact hiding their overwhelmingly carnivorous natures?

[Wikimania-l] Where to get a lozenge
Hi all, I have a slight sore throat due to dry air. I visited 7-11 next to One Ciudad de Mexico Alameda, to find a lozenge, but could not find any. Does anybody know the nearest pharmacy or somewhere I can get some lozenges? Thanks in advance, --Takashi [[User:Takot]] ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
Re: [Wikimania-l] Where to get a lozenge
Thanks Ivan for quick response! I'll try Hilton first. --Takashi 2015年7月16日(木) 21:05 Ivan Martínez gala...@gmail.com: Hilton have the most common, or you can go to Sanborn's in the corner of Avenida Juarez and Luis Moya (three blocks from Hilton to the east), there is a huge drugstore.

[Wikimania-l] OpenStreetMap mapping party on Sunday!
On Sunday afternoon, at lunch time, there will be an OpenStreetMap mapping party. https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_mapping_party We will do a brief excursion outside, nearby the venue to collect some data, using field papers (pen and paper / notes) and mobile apps (if you have a gps-enable device). We will then spend some time to enter the data into OSM, while eating lunch. No experience is necessary to participate and all are welcome.
