Off-Wiki form question

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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]
