Hi Dimi,
I think you got the date wrong for the comeback day, isn't it Thursday

Hi Dimi,
Thanks for sharing this. There's lots going on!
Unfortunately I won't be at Wikimania but is there going to be a
central place where resources will be collated so I can take a look
afterwards?
Thank you, hope you all have a great time!
Stevie
