This will have a posting if the event is delayed due to weather or other exigency.

[edit] Volunteering to help upload

If you want to volunteer to help with the uploading and scoring, you should be back at TOPP by 5:00, earlier than everyone else at 6:30.

Volunteering to help with uploading will in no way preclude you from competing in the contest, but you will be at a a slight disadvantage by having to come back earlier. If you are interested in volunteering, please e-mail Pharos with your details.

Attention volunteers: If you've got one, please bring your laptop and, even better, your compact flash/SD/etc card readers.

[edit] Sign-up

This sign-up list is just for fun. The proper place to register your team is here. It's also possible to register the day of, but it will be easier for us if you register beforehand.

If you want to meet other Wikipedians in the morning, your best bet would be to do check-in at TOPP, but feel free to choose Columbia if that's more convenient for you.

• Daniel Case (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2008 (UTC) I may not get there until later, but maybe my son, my mother and I could form a team and work around her weekend place on East 78th Street. Sounds like she would enjoy it. Or we could just meet you all in the Village for dinner.

Oh, but it would be so much better if you could compete too! Your team name could be "Cases on the Case" or something. I'd definitely hang around to give you the packet, if you can't come till later. And then of course, there's still food at the uploading party.--Pharos (talk) 21:08, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible

• I'll try to make it. JAF1970 (talk) 03:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
• What time of day? I'm at synagogue 2 hours away until 12:00 noon. Sam ^Blab 19:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Check-in will be a 1:00 PM, but there's a 95% chance we can take you later, if we make an arrangement beforehand. I'll get back to you on this. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 20:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

• It's Shabbos. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 04:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. When we organize the Wikipedia/Wikimedia meetups, I do avoid Saturdays. But we're doing this event with partners, and frankly I have a limited say in the matter.--Pharos (talk) 01:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

No apology needed, I was just giving a reason for my non-attendance. My wishes for a successful event! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 03:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
