[WMF-outreach-staff] Wednesday dinner: Should hackathon participants just head to the Google Reception, or instead buy their own dinner?

[Asheesh Laroia]

Excerpts from Nicholas Michael Bashour's message of Fri Jul 06 15:44:43 -0400 2012:
> Hello Asheesh,
> 
> Hackathon participants who are Wikimania attendees are encouraged to return
> to their hotels/hostels at 5 to change and drop off their laptops and bags
> before heading to the opening reception at the Library of Congress. Food
> and drinks will be provided. Attendees should bring their Wikimania badge
> with them, since that is their admission ticket. Those who wish to drink
> alcohol should bring an ID.
> 
> Again, we encourage everyone to leave their backpacks and laptops at home
> for the reception, since that will make going through the Library of
> Congress security much faster and easier. To make the transition between
> the hackathon and the reception easier for attendees, we encourage everyone
> to return to their hotels at 5PM on Wednesday.

Thanks for all the input!

I've summarized what I believe is the correct schedule:
