History: 2010 FAQ

Where will WikiSym 2010 be located?

WikiSym 2010 will be located in Gdańsk, Poland, directly before Wikimania 2010.

More information about the location, accommodation, registration etc. will be coming soon.

How can I find out more about Wikimania 2010?

Wikimania is the community conference of the Wikimedia Foundation projects. It focuses on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, including research into the sites, reports on community activities, and discussions of related issues of interest (such as free content creation, wiki technology and open educational resources).

More information can be found on the Wikimania site, http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org

Will you offer discounted and/or dual registrations?

At this time our plan is to offer separate registration for each conference. WikiSym is much smaller and has a more academic focus than Wikimania, which is a community rather than a research conference. We are working now to coordinate housing registrations so that attendees of both conferences can book a hotel for the week.

What is Gdańsk like in July?

Gdańsk is on the Baltic, and offers a cool, moist climate in July. More information can be found in the Wikimania FAQ: http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/FAQ

How can I help out?
