I've put in a quick reg mail for Wikimedia's staff contingent. :)

We'll have some of the usual suspects -- me, Tim Starling, Mark Bergsma, 
and Michael Dale (of Metavid/Kaltura Ogg Theora video work fame) -- as 
well as some of our newer folks: Tomasz Finc who's been doing a lot of 
behind-the-scenes work with the fundraiser and notice systems and is now 
working on patching up the data dumps and job queue -- and Arash 
Boostani and Trevor Parscal who are dev'ing up the Wikipedia Usability 
Initiative.

1pm is afternoon, but "at noon" is not "at 3PM"!

That makes sense!

Or if you arrive in Berlin already on Thursday April 2, join me 
for lunch at the Museum of Technology, and we can spend that 
afternoon admiring the replicas of Konrad Zuse's early computers.

I added this as an informal item to the program at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Developer_meet-up_2009
where you can also find links for more reading and maps.

Bah, naming times of day in english is awkward :) what do you call 1pm,
"afternnon"? Anyway...

The schedule on the wiki is the definitive one - or rather, as definite as it
gets. It may however still change. So, come early, hang out a bit, the c-base is
a cosy place :)

So... doors open at noon, schedule starts at 3pm. Satisfied?

The schedule you're linking to says it starts at 3 PM. Which time is the 
right one?

[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki developer meeting is drawing close

2009-03-06 Thread Daniel Kinzler
The meet-up[1] is drawing close now: between April 3. and 5. we meet at the
c-base[2] in Berlin to discuss MediaWiki development, extensions, toolserver
projects, wiki research, etc. Registration[3] is open until March 20 (required
even if you already pre-registered).

The schedule[4] is slowly becomming clear now: On Friday, we'll start at noon
with a who-is-who-and-does-what session and in the evening there will be an
opportunity to get to know Berlin a bit. On Saturday we have all day for
presentations and discussions, and in the evening we will have a party together
with all the folks from the chapter and board meetings. On Sunday there will be
a wrap-up session and a big lunch for everyone.

We have also organized affordable accommodation: we have reserved rooms in the
Apartmenthaus am Potsdamer Platz[5]. Staying there is a recommended way of
getting to know your fellow Wikimedians!

I'm happy that so many of you have shown interest, and I'm sure we'll have a
great time in Berlin!

Regards,
Daniel
