[Wikimania-l] Program-session chairs, room moderators, and general session helper for Wikimania
Dear Wikimaniacs, I hope you have all had a chance to look at the final program by now. Three long days, but lots of amazing space to hang out and relax on your own; of course noone is obliged to spend their conference time in sessions ;-) We will have all the riverside seating and walkways around the venue, and aside from an interlude in which a wedding party is using the upstairs restaurant at our venue -- which should be fun -- we will have full use of the Philharmonic during Wikimania. We need another dozen or so volunteers to help with the sessions: we are looking for room moderators (needed to moderate one room for at least half a day), session chairs (helping disparate ideas and talks integrate into a coherent discussion in the room), and general room-helpers: people who can assist with technical issues that may affect speakers and videographers, and help with crowd control and cleanup. If you are interested in any of these things, please leave a note on the talk page of the main program, or let our program chair Jacek Jankowski know. More notes will be out shortly about where to start discussing your own sessions -- every session will have its own talk page on the maniawiki. Thank you :-) SJ -- Samuel Klein identi.ca:sj w:user:sj ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
[Wikimania-l] Wi-fi at Dom (sic)
Hi, now I'm sitting on bed along a chest besides my bed, since the line is too short for me to work on the desk and it's quite annoying in particular for me who need to make talks from right now. While I'm happy to have a connection - it's really great - if I can work on the desk and a stable chair, not comfortable for lying but not for sitting because it's way soft and unstable for sitting for hours - it's triple-hyper-super-more than great. Really. So back to the subject: is there wi-fi connection is or will be available at Doms? Doms I'd say, because there are two doms (both are quite near btw) and I guess everyone lodging at dorms would love to know that. A digression but another interest of many people still: are there two and only two dorms for maniacs? If so, many people will just be able to come to the Music Academy and pay a visit to two dorms (Dom Sonata and Dom Muzika) just in a few minutes, instead of trekking with luggage from the Philharmonic.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Dorm's Address
Hi Takashi and all, It is a little confusing, but... The Dom Sonata is the dorm at the Dom Muzyka complex. It is all the same thing (there is also a hotel, school, and conference venue at the same place). If you tell the cab driver dom muzyka they will get you there, then you want to look for the awning with dom sonata printed on it. -- phoebe -- WikiSym 2010: July 7-9 | http://wikisym.org/ws2010 On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 8:17 AM, Takashi OTA supertakot+wikima...@gmail.comsupertakot%2bwikima...@gmail.com wrote: Hi lists, Just for your info, I write dorm's address down here.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wi-fi at Dom (sic)
Hi BTW, according to http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Venue , | Most of the area of the old City in Gdańsk is covered by a public free wifi with a many additional | hot spots being provided in cafes, restaurants and shopping areas. Additional wifi infrastructure | will need to be implemented by the Wikimania team. Ołowianka island will be supplied with a | 100-megabit optic fibre connection, provided by TASK, Tricity's academic network operator. | Currently the city authorities have covered much of the the Old Town with 2 Mb/s free wireless | Internet access[1], hosted from 8am to 10pm during the high season. As of 2008 tourist season | the western part of the Ołowianka island, where the conference will be held, was not yet in | range of the wifi network. Has anybody tried to do that? If it's available between the venue and my dorm, it really helps... --Takashi OTA [[User:Takot]] ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Re: [Wikimania-l] Directions from Gdansk airport to your dormitory
Everything you say agrees with my experience, Maysara, except I bought a 3 zl ticket on the bus and then validated it. Many of us are in the Dom Muzyka complex (WikiSym venue, hotel and music school dorms). ** Also, (per Phoebe) please note: for anyone relying on the in your pocket Gdansk map -- the location of the Dom Muzyka on this map is INCORRECT. The Dom M. is at the corner of Lakowa and the highway. See Google Map http://tinyurl.com/32ezc38 -- or, after walking through the long street walk over the bridge (take Stągiewna then turn right onto Lakowa). More than a 15-20 min walk from the train station for me, but there are lots of lovely distractions on the way. :) -Jodi On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 7:59 AM, Maysara Omar maysara.o...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everyone, It's obvious that no one yet knows “where exactly” to go once in Gdansk. Most probably this information will be communicated to us soon. There is a number of dormitories in which we will be lodged according to some arrangement that we yet don't know. In any case, because some of us have already arrived in Gdansk, some others are about to be there, these are the directions available from the airport to the city according to the many info that was provided in the list so far. Once in the airport you can: 1)exchange Euro to PLN [1€ = 4.1 Zloty (zl)]. Try to obtain change for the bus fare. 2)buy bus 210B tickets (4.20 zl) from the Gdańsk Tourist Organisation Information desk in the terminal building on the ground floor opposite the check-in desks. 3)take bus 210B to the main Gdańsk Główny train station. Then head by walk for your destination (when you know the address finally!). The station is probably 10 to 15 mins walk from most dormitories. So consider if you can do it with your luggage or not. 4)Another bus called “Airport bus” (10 zl) moves from the airport in the following times: 09:50, 10:50, 11:50, 13:10, 14:45, 16:05, 18:25, 19:50. tickets can be purchased direct from the driver (euros accepted). Catch it from the bus stop to the right of the terminal building, and find your journey terminating outside the Hevelius Hotel, which is very close to the Gdańsk Główny train station. You will still have to walk to your destination. 5)You can take a taxi (45 to 55 zl, City Plus Neptun, with the following number printed on them: 19686) directly to your destination. There are warnings about other types of taxis which could be more expensive, so avoid these. Probably you can still take a taxi from Gdańsk Główny train station to your dormitory if it is too far or if you have too much luggage and can't walk. Departure times for the 210B bus from the airport can be found here: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ensl=pltl=enu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ztm.gda.pl%2Frozklady%2Frozklad-210-11-1.html I'm not sure of any of these info since i haven't yet arrived in Gdansk. But it will be useful if someone can authenticate the info. or at least point out if there is any mistake.
