We already getting a lot of press attention to the conference here, here is

Hello,
I'm doing the final strokes of my presentation and I have a question. What
will be the operation system and the software in use for viewing the
presentations?
I need to know because I have one custom (handwriting) font in one of my
presentations, which I either need to install first, or turn the respective
textboxes into images, or convert the whole presentation to PDF (which will
be more difficult to me in another aspect)... So, any info available about
this?

Hi,
I've got insomnia since this June and use sleeping pills, and
unfortunately I forgot to pack them into my luggage at the last
minute.
Under certain conditions I can have someone in Japan ship them to me,
and it takes at least 5 days; so to arrive on August 6 at earlier.
Questions related:
- Can we receive such emergency needed goods in Haifa, at our own name
c/o Conference office whatsoever? If not, do any other possibilities
avail?
- Can we at dorms make our stay longer than reserved atm?
Cheers,

Hecht House is right next to the Haifa Auditorium, there is also the Hecht Park.
Take any bus to "Carmel Center", the stop is right next to the mall which is underneath the Auditorium. From there just walk follow the big road (Hanassi Ave) around the corner and a big Wikimania banner on the fassade will show you the way.

I've been using Etherpad yesterday and today, and increasingly getting
connection errors for a while, and on trying to submit a help req, get
this notice:
"Oops! A server error occured. It's been logged.
Please email <support(a)etherpad.com> if this persists."
If this is load related: should we be wary of using that etherpad
server during sessions?

If you are taking a taxi to the Technion dorms, demand that the driver
take you inside the campus to the dorm itself and not leave you at the
gate of the Technion campus.
If the driver insists, tell him that the manager of the taxi station,
Shlomo, said that the drivers are supposed to take Wikimania
participants all the way to the dorms.
