Possibly the largest ever number of Wikipedians in residence is going to
convene tomorrow (Saturday) at a meetup during Wikimania 2016.
If you are/were a Wikipedian in residence, please come on Sat 25 Jun
2016 at 10:00 to room 50 of the Esino Lario school. Details:
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups/Wikipedians_in_residence
One of our ideas is to take a group picture to better illustrate the
Wikipedia article on Wikipedians in residence, so please be accurate, as
we need to be all in one place at the same time! :)

> Pirate intrusion to invite you to an unofficial and nice meetup Saturday at 9pm, near the tent (and bier providers). It's a follow-up to the tremendous talk about French Wiktionary (2.30pm at the theater). It aims to discuss issues of Wiktionary and potential of the bunniest little-sister project (or insert here another random reference to a furry animal like sloths, kitten or lemurians).

Hi all,
there is a prohibition of parkng in the Pensa's square (near the community village).
The local police asked to park the cars in other parking area.
At the moment there is a French jeep parked there, the local police is looking for the owner to ask him/her to move it in another place.
If you need a place to store your material for the village, it's sufficient to go in the town hall and the local police will give the access to the storage area.
KInd regards
Ilario

Hello,
It seems that there is no laundry service available in Esino Lario. The
main hotel, Hotel Centrale, also does not offer clothes washing service. I
was hoping for access to any public washing machine.
Is everybody washing their own laundry in the sink? Can I get confirmation
about what others are doing? I also hear that there is no laundry service
in Varenna, 30 minutes away.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I am relaying these information here since I have received some
requests for assistance on this matter.
You may have heard about the art installation "The Floating Piers"[1]
by Bulgarian artist Christo, which is open from June,18th to July, 3rd
on Lake Iseo not too far (~ 2 hours by train) from here and you may be
planning to visit it maybe after Wikimania.
The installation is having a huge success and some limitations are
being enforced by authorities to ensure the safety of visitors.
In particular Trenord websites (trains in Lombardy) says[2]:
« ... [the Floating Piers] will be closed for maintenance from 24:00
on Thu, Jun 23rd to 07:30 [AM] on Fri, 24th»
Please note that *besides the strike* (from 21:00 on Jun 23rd, to
21:00 on Fri, June 24th) , the trains indicated in this page have been
*eliminated*:
http://www.trenord.it/it/media-news/avvisi/%E2%80%9Cthe-floating-piers%E2%8…
The page above also says:
---
Due to the exceptional number of visitor to the installation "The
Floating Piers" authorities could order the temporary suppression of
the stop in SULZANO. In this case, the closest stations are ISEO
(south of
SULZANO) and SALE MARASINO (north of SULZANO).
In the periods of greatest access the access times may require long
wait, even in the range of hours.
WE INVITE ALL VISITORS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ANNOUNCEMENTS GIVEN AT
THE STATION AND THE NOTIFICATIONS OF THE PERSONNEL.

You should also visit the official website of the installation for more info:

Hello!
The wikimedia etherpad installation is down - there has been a
database crash. Ops is on it and are in the process of recovering it -
I'll provide list with an ETA as soon as we have one available.
Thank you for your patience!
