[03:11:17] No idea :) (re @albertoleoncio: Is it easy/cheap to get an mikrotik router at Tallinn? I know that they are from Letonia, but... idk.) [05:15:09] 200 euro (which is more than 200 USD) (re @pirakalamina: uhh but do we have to have 200usd available in the card? I don't think i have) [05:17:58] I think if you want to argue, you can manage to avoid that. For me it's not a problem, so I haven't tried. [05:18:28] I'm on a flight from los angeles to frankfurt right now. Ill race ya! (re @bbearnes: about to leave the ground in denver. see you all in slightly longer than i care to think about.) [05:21:24] Lucas! I hope you brought your rubiks cubes like last time. I brought mine. Lets have a cube off sometime this weekend. Maybe sat pm like last time. We can msg this group to announce it and get more people :) (re @lucaswerkmeister: that sounds about right to me tbh, might even be on the low end if it’s severely out of tune) [05:21:58] Someone else will be on LH882 from Frankfurt? [05:23:25] Hi! Does anybody know any good co-working placed in the old town for today? I'm already in Tallinn, but need to work today (maybe not too hard 😅). Would be nice to meet other wiki people 👍 [05:26:40] Yes ill be on it. We can try to say hi at the gate if you want. Ill dm you (re @albertoleoncio: Someone else will be on LH882 from Frankfurt?) [05:44:56] @freosam: are you at the ferry terminal already? [05:51:18] Not tooo far away now [06:20:47] @taavi @TheresNoTime I'm at the terminal now, with a coffee. The security people had a nice rummage through my every bag, took a while! [06:21:26] where abouts in the terminal? [06:21:55] At the Panorama Bistro [06:28:55] We're goin to https://kumu.ekm.ee/en/ soonish (hoping it's open). Added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2024/Program#Thursday%2C_2_May_%28social_events%29 [06:34:49] What sort? One with a data sim? Or just any ‘tik kit? (re @albertoleoncio: Is it easy/cheap to get an mikrotik router at Tallinn? I know that they are from Letonia, but... idk.) [06:42:50] Can I join you later? I just arrived and have to check in to my hotel (re @wmtelegram_bot: We're goin to https://kumu.ekm.ee/en/ soonish (hoping it's open). Added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_H...) [06:52:45] If anyone's on the LH880 from Frankfurt, would love to say hi :) [06:53:03] Yes we have no firm schedule, just let me know when you're on the way. (re @Darafsh: Can I join you later? I just arrived and have to check in to my hotel) [06:53:42] Where is the meeting point? The Hilton? (re @Fedlev: Yes we have no firm schedule, just let me know when you're on the way.) [07:06:10] I think there'll be a whole group of us. If it's not too hot I might wear my black Wikidata hoody. Otherwise, I'll be the tall guy with the long hair, black clothes and a bicycle bag as a backpack 😆 (re @theprotonade: If anyone's on the LH880 from Frankfurt, would love to say hi :)) [07:12:24] This (https://mikrotik.com/product/hex_s) model exactly. I have like 40 smart lights at my house, and my network management is a mess. Also, I want to get rid of my tel modem. (re @tehreedy: What sort? One with a data sim? Or just any ‘tik kit?) [07:13:17] Not sure if they’re readily available in shops there [07:13:29] Certainly be curious to see [07:20:22] Nop.ee, kolari 1 (re @Darafsh: Where is the meeting point? The Hilton?) [07:21:21] I’ll try to reach you there. I overslept a bit 😅 (re @wmtelegram_bot: We're goin to https://kumu.ekm.ee/en/ soonish (hoping it's open). Added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_H...) [07:26:52] And I begin my trip to Tallinn! See you all tonight [07:27:51] It’s very close to my place. I will be there in 10 minutes (re @Fedlev: Nop.ee, kolari 1) [07:29:15] I brought some stuff, yeah :) (re @Barrio1234: Lucas! I hope you brought your rubiks cubes like last time. I brought mine.

I am at Hilton leaving right now [07:43:44] Me too (re @Magioladitis: Can i still catch up for the museum? I am at Hilton leaving right now) [07:43:57] Where are you [07:44:46] https://maps.app.goo.gl/2RAvWQLTBp2ZneDu9?g_st=ic (re @Magioladitis: Where are you) [07:45:45] Ok we are comung (re @Darafsh: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2RAvWQLTBp2ZneDu9?g_st=ic) [07:56:42] Are you still there? [07:57:10] Oh hi, it will be nice to meet you again :) (re @Barrio1234: Yes ill be on it. We can try to say hi at the gate if you want. Ill dm you) [07:58:03] Party @ frankfurt airport it sounds like. Got the whole crew! :) [07:59:34] Leaving now for the museum [09:33:50] We will land at Tallin airport in 14:32 local time. Anyone else landing around the same time? [09:34:40] Yup. @tarrow and @lcawte are with me at 1430 [09:34:54] See you then 🤩 [09:39:21] I should come to the airport to welcome you, but I am lazy 😁 (re @Ladsgroup: We will land at Tallin airport in 14:32 local time. Anyone else landing around the same time?) [10:03:33] 🤣 [10:22:07] Frankfurt to talinn gate change. Old gate is A30, new gate is A34, according to email i just got [10:23:13] I am in Istanbul right now. Waiting for the flight TK 1423 [10:23:24] Anyone here? [10:25:42] I'm already at Gate A34 in Frankfurt for the LH 882 flight. At a table with a view outside 🪟🙂 (re @Barrio1234: Frankfurt to talinn gate change. Old gate is A30, new gate is A34, according to email i just got) [10:28:56] I am currently heading to Warsaw (anyone there, btw?). Is it my luck, or trains being late for 4 hours is a normal thing in Poland? [10:32:01] Normal 😀🤷 But my maximum was 1 hour+- [10:34:55] Does Frankfurt airport have a secret way where I didn't have to walk from A1 to A34 [10:35:24] a wormhole?)) (re @Ceeeec: Does Frankfurt airport have a secret way where I didn't have to walk from A1 to A34) [10:36:23] Maybe ???? [10:42:22] I wish I had a wormhole for this... 🥲 : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/4a37c9ef/file_60362.jpg [10:50:58] Book assistance 😂 (re @Ceeeec: Does Frankfurt airport have a secret way where I didn't have to walk from A1 to A34) [10:51:23] I was there about 45 minutes ago. It goes faster than it looks (re @albertoleoncio: I wish I had a wormhole for this... 🥲) [10:53:36] Hello, is there someone at tallinn aeroport ? [10:58:40] frankfurt is optimised for making sure you get your daily 10k steps :P (re @Ceeeec: Does Frankfurt airport have a secret way where I didn't have to walk from A1 to A34) [11:20:58] I'm going soon for an easy run in a nearby park to stretch my legs. Let me know if you want to join me. [11:31:08] Is the trip to the natural history museum meeting at the museum or in the hotel lobby (or somewhere else)? [11:39:35] We are in freedom square waiting for the tour. Do you have any suggestions where to eat local? [11:49:55] Ivo says all the social events meet at the location. It’s listed in the registration and on the program page. (re @wmtelegram_bot: Is the trip to the natural history museum meeting at the museum or in the hotel lobby (or somewhere else)?) [11:53:26] Where are you? There's two of us here. (re @ferdi2005: We are in freedom square waiting for the tour. Do you have any suggestions where to eat local?) [11:59:35] I am with Ferdinando [11:59:49] But where? [12:00:02] Freedom square I suppose (re @EdwardBetts: But where?) [12:01:16] I'm eating in front of the town hall (re @ferdi2005: We are in freedom square waiting for the tour. Do you have any suggestions where to eat local?) [12:06:10] Or 15K if you're traveling to TLV. (re @Nikki: frankfurt is optimised for making sure you get your daily 10k steps :P) [12:08:03] Anyone at the hotel at the moment interested in going for a walk in the city and grabbing something to eat? [12:12:32] if you are not staying in the Hilton, ignore the guy with "Wikimedia Hackathon" on a cardboard at the airport exit, you'll just confuse him [12:14:39] Sugar anyone? : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/d6e0821b/file_60364.jpg [12:14:53] anyone planning to get lunch nowish? [12:15:46] Make sure something will be left for tomorrow)) (re @tehreedy: Sugar anyone?) [12:16:01] Where can we buy sim card for internet data ? [12:28:49] Boarding TLV ✈️ WAW ✈️ TLL. [12:31:15] Another candy payload is locked and stocked, ready for take off... : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/6f2f9a39/file_60365.jpg [12:31:29] That sounds like fun. (re @wmtelegram_bot: if you are not staying in the Hilton, ignore the guy with "Wikimedia Hackathon" on a cardboard at the airport exit, you'll...) [12:31:58] I had an unusually long path to it this time, with very long and uninteresting visa bureaucracy. It's probably even worse for lots of people from other countries, so it's kind of... fair, I guess? Our grand-grandchildren will be appalled that we had passports and visas and all this nonsense. (re @amire80: Boarding TLV ✈️ WAW ✈️ TLL.) [12:32:28] Passports were supposed to be temporary post WWII. Or something [12:32:51] See you all tomorrow, except if some of you plan to be in the lobby at 1 am, which, come to think of it, is quite likely. [12:33:35] Visa bureaucracy is so annoying. I looked forward to it ending. [12:33:52] Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be getting better [12:34:31] Or maybe some of you plans to have dinner in the Warsaw airport around 7:30–8:30 PM Warsaw time? [12:35:14] (Is anyone familiar with the Warsaw airport and can recommend a dinner place for transfer travelers?) [12:36:48] [Sorry, my English grammar is quite broken today, I've been driving and flying too much in the last few days.] [12:41:32] Many contributors to inflating the Wikipedia balloon—good metaphor ^_^ : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/bdcb6b89/file_60366.jpg [12:45:18] @amire80 I'm not sure about restaurants in WAW airport. I'm local and never eat at airport. But I have to say it's pretty pricey here :/. I would recommend going to business lounge, you pay 150PLN for entrance (around 40USD) and you get access to a buffet, coffee, cakes and plenty other things. [12:47:49] It used to be 150PLN, if you want to grab sth decent to eat then most likely you will pay around 100. And at lounge you get plenty of things, including % and you pay only for entrance. I used to go there to kill time grab something to snack [12:47:54] You never know… (re @amire80: See you all tomorrow, except if some of you plan to be in the lobby at 1 am, which, come to think of it, is quite likely.) [12:48:03] I am entering Estonia in quite unconventional way I would say🙂 : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/dc660de5/file_60367.jpg [12:52:34] Someone at Munich airport? Feel many wikipedians around, but too shy to ask :P [12:57:27] For a supposedly digital country, I’m amused by hotel not having digital in so keys [13:00:21] I would land on Tallinn at approximately 18:20 [13:00:35] ♥️🇱🇻🇱🇻🇺🇦🏡🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇪♥️ (re @renvoyukwiki: I am entering Estonia in quite unconventional way I would say🙂) [13:01:51] Just ran through Warsaw but made the connection. Arriving in Tallinn around 618h. [13:19:36] ...anyone with any idea about how pre-arranged transport is supposed to work? I cannot see any hackathon sign at the airport. [13:21:32] I'm in route to the ferry terminal in Helsinki. I guess I'm the only one who chose this :) [13:22:35] There’s supposed to be a guy just the other side of customs/baggage claim (re @urbanecm: ...anyone with any idea about how pre-arranged transport is supposed to work? I cannot see any hackathon sign at the airport.) [13:22:49] Or was a couple of hours ago [13:22:57] Lots of people arrived by ferry :) (re @IsmaelOlea: I'm in route to the ferry terminal in Helsinki. I guess I'm the only one who chose this :)) [13:23:29] That's what I figured, but there's no one. Or at least no one who would be waiting for someone. (re @tehreedy: There’s supposed to be a guy just the other side of customs/baggage claim) [13:23:46] They could’ve gone to the bathroom or something [13:24:05] I can ask [13:24:12] Well I'm here for 30 mins, but I can wait. [13:25:19] Nikki is calling to ask where they are for you [13:25:59] Are you waiting with anyone else? There should be someone else due for the same ride [13:26:31] No, and the travel manifest on officewiki does not show anyone scheduled. No idea about non-staff though. [13:26:32] Anybody knows if tap water is ok to drink? [13:26:48] Yeah [13:27:14] Nikki says you can just get a taxi… she can call you one (re @urbanecm: No, and the travel manifest on officewiki does not show anyone scheduled. No idea about non-staff though.) [13:27:37] There's a bunch of taxis waiting outside of the airport. No idea how safe they are to take. [13:28:01] Sign appeared though. [13:28:09] Yay [13:28:40] This is for water? 😅 (re @tehreedy: Yeah) [13:28:49] It is! [13:30:09] Thanks, there's another discussion going on so I wasn't sure [13:30:34] @urbanecm there’s someone else coming from Helsinki… landing at 1610. Can you ask the driver if they’re waiting for them too? [13:31:12] They said we need to wait for someone else. So presumably. Not sure if from Helsinki though. (re @tehreedy: @urbanecm there’s someone else coming from Helsinki… landing at 1610. Can you ask the driver if they’re waiting for them too?) [13:31:44] Thanks! Passed that on :) [13:31:50] They might be waiting off baggage [13:32:07] Sign says Helsinki flight arrived at 28, so wouldn't be surprising. [13:36:37] The driver confirmed we're waiting for one person from the Helsinki flight. (re @urbanecm: They said we need to wait for someone else. So presumably. Not sure if from Helsinki though.) [13:46:26] in case anyone wants to go to a supermarket, the closest so far is 650m away from the hotel: https://g.co/kgs/buu4zzT [13:50:27] https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/f074495c/file_60371.jpg [13:50:42] Amir being social as usual :p [13:58:47] There was a page and I'm oncall 😁😁😁 [13:59:37] Hi folks.. How do we reach the place to start for the Sea Fortress activity? [13:59:42] How far in advance do you have to board the ferry? (re @tehreedy: Lots of people arrived by ferry :)) [14:00:05] OSM gives a shorter walking route from harbor to Hilton (1.4km&16mins) - does anyone know if this is up-to-date info? https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=59.4435%2C24.7667%3B59.4338%2C24.7685#map=15/59.4358/24.7689 : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/a178f71c/file_60372.jpg [14:00:10] Anyone starting from the Hilton lobby ? (re @kbmfsa: Hi folks.. How do we reach the place to start for the Sea Fortress activity?) [14:01:11] Check in closes at 30 before, so probably closer to an hour (re @IsmaelOlea: How far in advance do you have to board the ferry?) [14:02:30] You can check-in online though [14:11:03] Due to a last-minute cancellation I'm suddenly expecting to arrive in Tallinn at 1 am. Any other late arrivals who'd be up for a ride-share to the Hilton? (I assume taxis will be the only option at that point.) [14:12:36] @Susannaanas hi from the Alla's cafeteria! :D [14:12:48] Nooo really? [14:13:04] How do you like it? [14:13:11] I'm making time before onboarding :) [14:13:24] Good choice! [14:13:32] Looks very beautiful, but I can't find electric plugs :-D (re @Susannaanas: How do you like it?) [14:14:12] I know they have them :) [14:18:54] made a Phabricator task for it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364009 (re @Barrio1234: Lucas! I hope you brought your rubiks cubes like last time. I brought mine. Lets have a cube off sometime this weekend. Maybe sa...) [14:19:06] though idk where to put it on the schedule ^^ [14:34:16] That's the route that we took this afternoon and it was fine. The bits through student accommodation gardens seem permitted. (re @tuukkahastrup: OSM gives a shorter walking route from harbor to Hilton (1.4km&16mins) - does anyone know if this is up-to-date info? https://ww...) [14:38:47] Anyone else going to the patarei sea fortress event this evening ? [14:39:01] Couple of us are going to walk to the meeting point shortly. [14:39:10] From the Hilton? [14:39:22] Yes [14:44:30] I arrived at Helsinki, now waiting for my last flight... [14:44:48] Have you left yet? (re @Subbu: Yes) [14:45:21] Sorry yes we left. [14:49:19] Does anyone arrive at Tallinn airport in ~2 hours? [14:55:32] juggling & rubik’s cubes & more is now scheduled for 17:00 tomorrow (the beginning of the free “social” slot in the main schedule), everyone who’s interested please join :) (re @lucaswerkmeister: made a Phabricator task for it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T364009) [14:57:36] Like 12 of us just landed at tallinn (from frankfurt). See you all inside the terminal in a bit [15:01:42] Looking forward to se y'all in couple of hours🙂 : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/7c620624/file_60380.jpg [15:01:45] Does anybody knows how many participants are we? [15:07:16] Since it was too long to walk for the distance to the sea fortress tour, we decided to take a Uber but there is serious slowdown because of construction in the way! May not have been that much slower to walk :( [15:13:13] Just realized I'm in a different timezone 🙈 [15:24:42] Hi all! [15:24:43] Dinner is being served on the first floor of the hotel (conference area). All registrants are invited (bring your badge), there is a lot of food 🌮🥗 [15:25:03] 6pm - 8pm :) [15:26:37] Ran into a Nicolas!

[16:02:49] I don’t think so [16:03:32] okay, then I’ll bring mine tomorrow :) [16:07:21] Sweets and stickers and other various things will have a table set up for Friday morning! 🙂 Looking forward to it all!
