[00:56:17] Carly @bd808 did the driver told you something? He is not being very talkative giving explanation of what happens [00:58:14] We are in a cab. The driver had 3 names and apparently felt that was a contract. [01:02:35] I am making my own way to the airport, my name should have been taken off the list so hopefully no confusion was caused! (re @davidsantamariame: Carly @bd808 did the driver told you something? He is not being very talkative giving explanation of what happens) [01:04:13] Sorry! We tried to stop him, but again he was not very talkative (re @bd808: We are in a cab. The driver had 3 names and apparently felt that was a contract.) [01:05:04] No worries. Travel safe. [03:20:21] I’m sorry this happened Bryan. For security reasons, we told them not to take riders who weren’t on our list. You were a late addition and apparently it didn’t get communicated to the correct person (re @bd808: We are in a cab. The driver had 3 names and apparently felt that was a contract.) [03:23:00] 🚕 Reminder for WMF sponsored staff and scholars: please review the office wiki and scholarship travel briefing respectively for your shuttle’s departure time. And please be ready in the lobby at least 5-10 prior to departure as the shuttles will not wait! [03:33:08] I am waiting for the shuttle [05:16:23] A Pokémon thing was left on the boat. If it’s yours let me know! : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/d3a02dc4/file_70425.jpg [06:23:57] Is the shuttle pickup just right at the front doors? [06:25:13] I asked that, and then a van that looks extremely shuttle-like just parked, so I’m thinking: probably. [06:25:27] It was nice meeting you all, see you next time : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/6c67c1c0/file_70426.jpg [06:42:27] Thank you so much to all the organizers for such a wonderful experience! So grateful to have had such an amazing time and to have met so many new colleagues and friends! [06:43:26] +1 thanks for all the organizers for such a wonderful event. [06:44:19] Jenifer lee? We are waiting at the shuttle boarding point for you : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/5bbf7b41/file_70427.jpg [06:44:21] Yes! It was outstanding, thank you all so much! [06:45:22] And it's ready to leave in next 5 minutes (re @ckmwiki: Jenifer lee? We are waiting at the shuttle boarding point for you) [06:48:31] (We are assured that Jennifer has switched her flight and so doesn’t need to be on this shuttle.) [06:54:46] This shuttle left at 9.45 with rest 9 people to airport. (re @ckmwiki: Jenifer lee? We are waiting at the shuttle boarding point for you) [07:01:00] The black cube and one of the cables are mine! (re @caneroz22: These adapters waiting owners on help desk) [07:01:33] Did you leave the lost things in the hotel? [07:04:50] Please go to the ballroom and we'll meet you there! (re @Jorgemet: The black cube and one of the cables are mine!) [07:05:55] Oh, thanks. I'm not at the hotel just now. I can be there by 11:30. Is it ok? [07:06:36] sure, just ping me when you arrive! (re @Jorgemet: Oh, thanks. I'm not at the hotel just now. I can be there by 11:30. Is it ok?) [07:06:53] Thank you! (re @deb_t: sure, just ping me when you arrive!) [07:16:54] The shuttle turns out to take an impressively indirect route to avoid paying a toll, which is really explaining this whole “4 hours before your flight” thing. [07:27:19] We have handed over the lost and found to Deb (re @Jorgemet: @caneroz22 Did you leave the lost things in the hotel?) [07:29:32] any Covid tests left? (re @jeremy_b: I forgot to check after showcase how many Covid test were left at registration. I didn't want to hog them but I'm happy to take ...) [07:31:53] there were some left, yes, but @Mehman97 might have already taken them to his car. I have an extra one if you'd like to have it! (re @jeremy_b: any Covid tests left?) [07:32:39] Come to ballroom (re @jeremy_b: any Covid tests left?) [07:41:01] just walked through ballroom (re @Mehman97: Come to ballroom) [07:42:29] just got 2 from him thanks (re @deb_t: there were some left, yes, but @Mehman97 might have already taken them to his car. I have an extra one if you'd like to have it!) [08:18:11] Damn it. That’s mine (re @Amanda: A Pokémon thing was left on the boat. If it’s yours let me know!) [08:19:11] And of course, I’ve left the hotel now… [08:20:00] give it to a British person still here? or meet in Istanbul somewhere? (re @tehreedy: And of course, I’ve left the hotel now…) [08:20:20] it seems rather small and lightweight [08:20:26] I’m going into the city for a few hours if someone else is [08:21:23] Sırkecı station has self serve lockers if you need to leave a bag somewhere (re @tehreedy: I’m going into the city for a few hours if someone else is) [08:21:49] Perfect, thanks [08:22:10] I don't remember the full price but the overage charge if you don't come back in time was reasonable [08:22:31] (I didn't actually use the locker) [08:22:35] Does anyone live close to Punith that hasn't left yet? I have a power cord / charger with his name on it. [08:25:03] Any Brits still in the hotel? [08:25:45] @mikepeel ? or I could get it to @EdwardBetts sometime next few days. (re @tehreedy: Any Brits still in the hotel?) [08:26:12] Not sure if @Krinkle24 is still there? [08:26:17] @ImaginaryPumpkin (re @deb_t: Does anyone live close to Punith that hasn't left yet? I have a power cord / charger with his name on it.) [08:27:16] I'm heading to check out soon and then into town for a few days (different hotel). [08:27:23] I'm in an Airbnb in Beyoğlu for the next week. Not near the hotel. [08:28:33] Mind grabbing it for me please, and will sort out getting it back from you at a later date? (re @Krinkle24: I'm heading to check out soon and then into town for a few days (at a different hotel).) [08:29:24] Ack, will do. [08:34:00] I’m around the hotel still, happy to get it and take it back to the UK if that’s helpful. (re @jeremy_b: @mikepeel ? or I could get it to @EdwardBetts sometime next few days.) [08:36:06] I'll be in the lobby in 15min to pick it up on Sam's behalf! (re @Amanda: A Pokémon thing was left on the boat. If it’s yours let me know!) [08:37:02] How long did it take you to get to the airport? (re @kemayo: The shuttle turns out to take an impressively indirect route to avoid paying a toll, which is really explaining this whole “4 ho...) [08:39:19] 45 min-ish [08:40:41] Let me know if plan B is needed, otherwise I won’t do anything here. :-) (re @Krinkle24: I'll be in the lobby in 15min to pick it up on Sam's behalf!) [08:40:44] Ah @Krinkle24 I left it with my luggage, let me dm you and @tehreedy (re @Krinkle24: I'll be in the lobby in 15min to pick it up on Sam's behalf!) [08:40:46] Please don't abandon your Psyduck anymore in a pokeball, or I will report to T&S 😁 (re @tehreedy: Damn it. That’s mine) [08:41:22] As a reminder - here is the shuttle schedule! : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/f645e98d/file_70428.jpg [08:46:32] had to check: [08:46:33] * Psyduck has enwiki article (and even Android Google keyboard dictionary entry?!!!) [08:46:34] * pokeball just has part of an enwiki section? (re @bozzy: Please don't abandon your Psyduck again in a pokeball, or I will report to T&S 😁) [08:46:39] never heard of either before [08:46:59] Bit over an hour. Left the hotel right at 9:45, and I was walking into the terminal at 10:55. (re @Erin: How long did it take you to get to the airport?) [08:58:02] Just to surprise you even more [08:58:03] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pok%C3%A9mon (re @jeremy_b: had to check: [08:58:04] * Psyduck has enwiki article (and even Android Google keyboard dictionary entry?!!!) [08:58:06] * pokeball just has part of a...) [08:59:07] was not surprised to see there's not a site link to dewiki (re @bozzy: Just to surprise you even more [08:59:09] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pok%C3%A9mon) [08:59:47] cf. en has an article for everyone Simpsons episode, de doesn't [09:04:00] Is anyone else on BA677 today? [09:05:45] We have a third bedroom available with two twin beds from 5/5 to 5/8 near Gálata, if anyone is looking for a place. [09:05:46] Very nice with terrace views and very inexpensive (it was surprisingly inexpensive rental because it was exactly between two other bookings). https://www.airbnb.com/l/wAFCUch0 [09:11:12] Did anyone think of this wikipedia article when looking at the lamps in the hotel conference center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia?wprov=sfti1 : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/4a36958e/file_70429.jpg [09:43:44] I think the way they’re protrusions lessens it. It’s the holes on a flat surface that really get people. [09:44:31] I would be interested to see an example object in person some time. I don't think I knew that one. (re @kemayo: I think the way they’re protrusions lessens it. It’s the holes on a flat surface that really get people.) [09:46:09] Lotus pods are pretty good for it… (re @jeremy_b: I would be interested to see an example object in person some time. I don't think I knew that one.) [09:46:40] My spouse refuses to look at pictures I take in the park by my house. :P : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/040aa5b0/file_70431.jpg [09:47:17] Ah, yup, it’s the first picture on the wiki. 😂 [10:09:44] https://wikis.world/@LucasWerkmeister/114449258157951244 [10:44:08] Thanks again to everyone who came to beautiful Istanbul for the Wikimedia Hackathon!

(special thanks to @caneroz22 for creating this image and all the other event specific images!) : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/f08c4ca7/file_70433.jpg [10:59:52] My first international hackathon, I could never have imagined how wonderful it would be!

[11:33:11] Hi, the most popular is Büyükada Island, but the slopes are challenging, so you might consider renting a bike or one of the local electric vehicles. Hagia Yorgi Church, Prinkipo Greek Orthodox Orphanage (it's considered the largest wooden building in Europe and second largest in the world) are the most popular places. And you should definitely try the ice cream at [11:33:12] Roma Ice Crea [11:33:12] m..A few advices.. (re @Katie: is anyone staying longer in Istanbul? i am around tomorrow and wednesday. might visit Princes Island on wednesday https://en.wik...)

Job well done by you and the team (re @deb_t: Thanks again to everyone who came to beautiful Istanbul for the Wikimedia Hackathon! You are all amazing technical contributors ...) [11:58:09] Oh noooo I was in the nap area of the airport, everybody sleeping / using computer in silence, and... I've dragged a Phorge/Phabricator task from a column to another, but the destination one had a trigger causing coin.mp3 🪙 sounds veeeery loudly; like DA-DLIN, DA-DLIN, DA-DLIN 🔊 whoops [11:59:12] ( this feature https://we.phorge.it/D25079 ) [12:26:11] I really should get myself to the hackathon one year [16:14:21] Hope to see you one day at a hackathon RhinosF1 ! (re @wmtelegram_bot: I really should get myself to the hackathon one year) [16:32:14] Is there anyone taking the 20:00 shuttle to the airport? [16:57:56] I am [17:03:16] anyone know when the shuttle's gonna be here? 😅 [17:03:33] bon voyage! [17:07:56] it should be out front - it's a car, license 34 NBZ 538, black vito (re @ChlodAlejandro: anyone know when the shuttle's gonna be here? 😅) [17:09:09] seems like it's here now. thanks!
