[15:07:21] / [15:09:03] Google Maps app says that metro from the airport to the Brown hotel is about 50 minutes, which is not much more than the taxi. And I LOVE public transportation! [15:09:15] Any reason for me not to take the metro? :) [15:10:12] it's also cheaper! [15:10:26] Of course. [15:12:02] We overpacked. Had a bajillion bags. Taxi good for bags. Metro great for everything else :) [15:12:22] Great. [15:13:03] Is there something like a Hackathon welcome desk in the Brown hotel on Thursday afternoon? [15:13:54] yes, there will be, AFAIK [15:14:18] according to the email sent to scholars, yes [15:14:21] who arrives on Thursday can register at the hotel, otherwise just wait for Friday morning [15:14:50] I was going to say unless you share a taxi but if the metro is 16€ return and a taxi is 45€ you'd need 6 people and I don't know if they'd let you squeeze that many in 😅 [16:08:13] The metro was pretty straightforward to take from the airport, would recommend it [16:34:18] I think the bus is a bit better. (re @amire80: Any reason for me not to take the metro? :)) [16:39:16] The metro is super crowded. Only 9€ though. (re @amire80: Google Maps app says that metro from the airport to the Brown hotel is about 50 minutes, which is not much more than the taxi. A...) [17:05:50] There's a huge chunk of us arriving at the same time, Thu morning. Probably makes sense to ride share for us. : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/e40fa2d7/file_48086.jpg [17:26:07] I’m all for that. (re @fuzheado: There's a huge chunk of us arriving at the same time, Thu morning. Probably makes sense to ride share for us.) [17:32:21] I guess it depends of the time. Just took it, it was easy and not crowded. (re @gtisza: The metro is super crowded. Only 9€ though.) [19:06:19] @amire80 @envlh @IVeertje & all the Hackathon folks happy we will meet again post pandemic ! It been a while ! [19:20:46] Athens metro stations on Wikidata, by the way: https://w.wiki/6iKX [19:23:06] The bus is okay, then? Was it easy to find? Sometimes airport buses are quite chaotic (re @chicocvenancio: I think the bus is a bit better.) [19:25:54] It's a few years since, but I did the bus back to the airport from the city centre [19:28:51] not all are connected, however: https://w.wiki/6iKb (re @TiagoLubiana: Athens metro stations on Wikidata, by the way: https://w.wiki/6iKX) [19:36:50] o_O [19:37:23] (I wrote something in the wrong channel, disregard if you saw it, sorry) [19:42:33] irc remembers [20:18:02] yeah, that's why I decided to send the follow-up despite deleting the message here :) [20:27:48] It is a long shot, but I have a long flight ahead and I was wondering if there is any simple way to get all the core info about the hackathon in an offline-reading format. [20:27:49] [20:27:51] e.g. download everything under the namespace "https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023" and all the directlinks from the pages in the namespace or something like that. [20:27:52] Any suggestions? maybe some magic using https://www.httrack.com/? [20:47:20] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Book maybe? [20:47:45] But the magic create a pdf doesn't work so well these days [20:54:15] Thanks! I could not quite figure it out, but it was a good pointer in the right direction [20:58:19] Basically, you can enable, it, and then create a list of pages (either by visiting them and "adding" them to the book) and create a combined version... [21:00:44] I'll try it. Thanks again. [22:51:48] Hey! If you manage to create something, could you share it please? (re @TiagoLubiana: I'll try it. Thanks again.)
