[02:19:50] Apparently that's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_salad. Needs a source though. (re @kemayo: Oh good, you got the “American salad” 😂) [03:41:12] This was a rich source of conversation with the people I dined with as well. I enjoyed explaining that as an American I had no idea what it was. It reminded me of macaroni salad without the macaroni. [04:31:42] No (re @wfan219: Is the food in hotel room free of charge, I guess not? 😅) [04:33:23] Not many people were at the gym at 7. 😁 Now let's see the pool [04:33:31] / [04:38:42] Do you need to pay? (re @tuukkahastrup: Not many people were at the gym at 7. 😁 Now let's see the pool) [04:43:54] I am not staying at the hotel. I should be there at 9:30 right?

(re @Amanda: I am not staying at the hotel. I should be there at 9:30 right? I dont remember the time and im panicking🤣🤣🤣) [04:51:24] Thankss [04:56:06] welcome (re @sunafterrainwm: ) [04:57:38] I heard someone here has been posting photos of delicious food, so I came to take a peek and enjoy the drama (lol). [05:00:23] hello [05:06:32] No fee. But in the pool you need to wear a swimming cap (swimsuit optional 🤣). And make sure to use the showers next to the pool, or you may be interrogated where you took the shower before entering the pool. There are also Turkish and Finnish saunas! 🧖 (re @EdwardBetts: Do you need to pay?) [05:16:01] Is breakfast in the same room as we ate last night? [05:16:20] that's what I was told last night (re @tehreedy: Is breakfast in the same room as we ate last night?) [05:16:48] except only included for scholars (and maybe staff?) [05:17:03] lunch and dinner are everyone [05:21:05] I see a tennis match going out my window [05:39:21] They didn’t do any sort of identity verification when I went down to eat breakfast, so it might be included for anyone who’s staying in the hotel. [05:44:38] Breakfast is included with your hotel room reservation! [06:08:57] *Please stop by the *registration desk* to check in and collect your badge. Thanks* [06:13:25] Reminder! We have coffee / tea in the foyer right outside the ballroom - we’ll start right at 9:30am! [06:15:17] So where did you find a cap? (re @tuukkahastrup: No fee. But in the pool you need to wear a swimming cap (swimsuit supposedly optional 🤣). And make sure to use the showers next ...) [06:16:19] Is anyone else having trouble staying connected to the Wikimedia wifi? I get kicked off after about 5 mins. [06:16:19] Is there a supermarket around here? [06:20:08] haven't tried yet... where do i find the password? (re @freosam: Is anyone else having trouble staying connected to the Wikimedia wifi? I get kicked off after about 5 mins.)

(I already had one) (re @bozzy: P.S. if you go to the swimming pool @ -2, bring with you money to buy the mandatory head cuff) [06:23:37] You can find different markets more closer to you, but this is the supermarket (re @bekobyrm: You can reach Migros supermarket within a few minutes walking distance.

(or was there nobody who didn’t want to be recorded?) [07:50:55] The internet is quite slow at this hackathon [07:51:10] I think red lanyard people took them off at least [07:51:22] but wait there is two pairs of cat ears in the room :p (re @lucaswerkmeister: @mszabo_fandom and I are taking opposite approaches to being easily recognizable by our outfits https://wikis.world/@LucasWerkme...) [07:51:26] Can't hear debt :( [07:51:41] etherpad for pitches: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2025_Opening [07:52:33] (I think there should be a block for almost everyone, but some of the blocks are mostly empty and also some names are missing, misspelled, etc.) [07:52:46] (we tried our best but it’s difficult ^^) [07:56:45] Internet is unusable [07:57:18] +1 (re @EdwardBetts: Internet is unusable) [07:59:27] Does anyone know who was talking about the Codex sandboxing stuff?
