Manic programs & registration


Dear all, three things:

* The Wikimania program and hacking days schedule are nearing completion.
If you are talking or presenting a poster, please fill out the appropriate 
proceedings pages.
  http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:Index

There are currently no proceedings pages for hacking days sessions; if you 
feel strongly about your hacking days talk, and would like a proceedings 
entry, please get in touch with Phoebe or Nick (ngb) about this.

* Early registration was extended throughout this week; please encourage 
your friends, enemies, and Calvinball dreamteammates to register by 
tomorrow to take advantage of this.

* Attendees should update their information on the attendees page, make 
themselves an account on the wiki, and add themselves to the facebook.
Please note there are a half-dozen swaths of floor and couch available
for crash space for those coming and staying before or after the event,
or hoping to avoid the dorms.

Cheers,
   SJ

Promotion, graphics, and parties


A few notes on sharing the wikimania love, before and during the 
conference :

* Attached is a draft pamphlet for spreading the word about Wikimania, 
care of Reid Offringa.  On a less sacrilegious note, there is also a 
lovely hacking-days poster image about (Brett, what's the latest version 
like?) which would make a good printout to bring to other related events.

* There are three entries so far in the t-shirt competition; and while 
they are pretty darn good, more are wanted!  And other image suggestions, 
including icons/buttons of various sizes, are welcome.

* A Wikimania party Saturday night is being planned for the MIT Museum, 
which is a proper tardis of a building.  You can prepare by practicing
your DDR skills...
  http://web.mit.edu/museum/collections/index.html

* Friday there will be, among other things, a party hosted by wikitravel; 
who is encouraged to put more details up on the wiki, where that and other 
events are noted:

Wikimania stuffs on meta

Lately I found some 'Mania 2005 related things on meta are ranked very
high in some circumstances - by a certain language searching in
particular.

For example:
http://www.google.fr/search?hs=ayr&hl=fr&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Afr%3Aofficial&q=wikimania&btnG=Rechercher&meta=lr%3Dlang_fr

I was adviced to remove those 2005 related stuffs. Move or soft
redirects are also possible solutions, but personally I hesitate to
blank them. If we turn them into redirect, it would be a question
where they should go.

Any solution idea?

Re: Wikimania stuffs on meta


As a short term solution : adding a template at the top of each directing 
people to the Wikimania2006 site (and noting the rest is an archive) would 
be useful.

LOL.

ok, it's good that I can laugh at myself because that was not supposed
to go out to the whole list! But maybe someone else can tell me what
it is! :-)

No, it's a good question! I, too, wonder what it is! Is it a seed pod?
A dissected Calvinball? Reid, explain yourself! :)

Ahhh, the secret to attracting the right people : providing a mystery
that only Wikipedia can solve.

Why *is* the mesencephalon so important?

Re: Promotion, graphics, and parties

Well duh. Typical me. Forever taking the mesencephalon for other body
parts. It can now safely be said that Andrea is no brain surgeon.
