Hi,
I know it may be too early to ask that, but I promise to send another
notification related this issue in the coming months :)
We started last year to make the Wikimania costs more transparent.
Wikimania is our biggest and the most expensive project. To ask our self
"how much Wikimania costs" we can't only look on the project budget, as the
total cost involve also scholarships (from WMF and chapters)
and delegations of the chapters and the WMF.
We have tracking pages on Meta about Wikimania
2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011/Budget>and
Wikimania
2012 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget> (sadly the
organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I
opened a new page for Wikimania
2013<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget>
.
So again, I know to some of you this is too early to put the costs
(although the size of the chapters and WMF delegation is known and could be
update also now) - but if you can, do it now. If now, remember to do it
what you have the numbers.
The data requested is your chapter\wmf
delegation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget#Delegations>
and
the number of scholarships<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013>your
chapters gave.
Thanks,
Itzik
Dear Wikimedia community:
I would like to help provide feedback for Wikimania 2013 and 2014
organizers regarding genderqueer and trans* Wikimedians' experience of
Wikimania (especially on the topics of registration, accommodations,
t-shirts, and other parts of Wikimania where gender comes up). If you
have that kind of feedback for the organizers but would prefer to submit
it anonymously, I'm happy to help by posting it on the Feedback pages on
your behalf and without your name. (Of course, if you would like to post
feedback yourself, feel free! This is just an offer to help out those
who want to offer suggestions or criticism but don't feel comfortable
publicly outing themselves.)

P.S. I am a straight cisgender woman, but attempt to help my communities
support [[QUILTBAG]] members. Hope this is helpful.

I too would love to see the videos. Is there any news on where they're at?
The people who couldn't attend Wikimania, and the people who were
attending other sessions in the same timeslot, would all benefit so very
much!
The schedule page could be an awesome Table of Contents, but currently
it leads to a lot of "teasers"...

Also Slides -
Much thanks to those of you who've added your slides! If you haven't
yet, please do so.
If they're uploaded elsewhere, please also add them to commons (for
future preservation, in case prezi etc disappear), and group them in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2013_presentation_sli…
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
The Wikimania London website is looking great – I'm pretty excited about what I'm sure will be an amazing conference.
One quick suggestion, though. I keep googling "Wikimania 2014 dates", and spend five minutes each time trying to find the dates.
If the dates from the bid are the set ones, then could they be put somewhere prominent on the front page? If not, could we have something there noting that there are no final dates? I'm trying to plan ahead and perenially forgetting the dates is tricky! :)
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Hi there,
where can I find Wikimania 2013 Hong Kong numbers like number of
participants, number of countries people came from, number of
sessions, gender balance, youngest participant, oldest participant,
participant with longest journey by distance, participant with longest
journey by time, number of people been first time at a Wikimania etc.?
Thanks in advance,

Time for the customary recordings thread. :)
There isn't any information about recordings on the wiki, apart from a
link in main page to the streaming of the auditorium at
http://new.livestream.com/socreclive/wikimania
Does somebody know if any recording is taking place and, if yes, in what
rooms?

Thanks to Mark Holmquist for maintaining http://etherpad.wmflabs.org for
the past long while. It is going down in 2 weeks, so please retrieve
your text.
I recommend that you:
* go into your browser history
* search it for etherpad.wmflabs.org
* go to each of those pads and copy-and-paste the content someplace,
preferably on a public wiki, even if it's just in your userspace
* replace the content of the Etherpad with a link to the wiki page
you've moved the text to
And just as a reminder: Etherpad is not a production-level service, and
therefore any data within an etherpad should be considered both public
and able to disappear at any time. This is one reason I recommend that
people use Etherpads for short-term defined collaboration sessions, and
frequently do backups, and always archive documents to a wiki after a
session ends.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Etherpad Lite labs instance going down in two
weeks - backup time
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:02:13 -0700

Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>

The day we have all equally hoped for and dreaded is come to pass: Etherpad
Lite has now replaced Etherpad "Classic" in production, and the labs
instance
is on its way out.
This is my as-wide-as-possible email warning to say that everything on the
labs instance, as really should have been expected, is going to be gone
soon.
Not immediately - we intend to give you two weeks to get your important data
off the instance and onto the new one at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ -
but you should _absolutely_ be moving things as soon as possible. We will
also keep a data dump around, in case anything else needs to get pulled out
of the pads, but I would suggest not relying on that if you don't have to.
And in the future: If a URL has "wmflabs.org" in it...don't put anything,
ANYTHING, important there. The purpose of labs is to let us experiment with
new technology without having to worry about reliability.
Thanks so much for your help and understanding in the course of this
migration.
tl;dr: http://etherpad.wmflabs.org is going down in 2 weeks, get yer
stuff off it.
