Off-Wiki form question[edit]

Does registration = absolute commitment?--Metallurgist (talk) 08:31, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, not really. If you think there's a good chance you'll be coming, you should err on the side of registering.--Pharos (talk) 18:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just a slight question: the off-Wiki signup sheet has a space for name. Is first name sufficient, or do they want full name? (Or does it not matter?) — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 19:18, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Full name would be better, especially if there is a surplus of registrations and we aren't able to accommodate everybody. Names will be kept private, and only myself and people doing check-in at NYU will see that.--Pharos (talk) 03:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it needful to sign up off wiki if the only thing you're maybe attending is the (after shabbos) party?--—Elipongo (Talk contribs) 04:49, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick schedule question[edit]

Is the gap in the schedule between 1:30 and 2:30 intentional? Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out, gap corrected.--Pharos (talk) 20:08, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Call for presentations[edit]

I hope we can see some more Lightning Talks, Open Space, and party ideas. Don't be shy!--Pharos (talk) 19:19, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I am preparing a hands-on inline citations tutorial. If you can do something well, and can tell others about it, please think about tutorials. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:11, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please prepare a Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser tutorial, including some of the more popular plug-ins? --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:31, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Warning for Windows users[edit]

Our host location is MAC equipped and oriented, and projector computers are MAC computers. If you are not accustomed to MAC, bring your own Windows laptop.

Project organizers: If a loaner Windows laptop could be provided for lightning talks, that would be very helpful, as half the time or more can drain away while a non-MAC person fumbles with getting going. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:06, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parking nearby[edit]

For those brave enough to be driving in Manhattan, I can report that there is underground garage parking in the next block uptown from 741 Broadway for only $12 for the day; access it from either Mercer Street or Broadway. --DThomsen8 (talk) 22:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See you tomorrow![edit]

Consider this post a gentle wiki-reminder :P--Pharos (talk) 20:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please be informed of subway disruptions before leaving! http://www.subwayweekender.com. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 03:36, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Language shirt[edit]

For those who are curious, I went through and figured out what languages are on the back of the blue shirt. I've posted it here. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 20:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:45, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
