Talk:Wikimania 2015 bids/Monastir

• Thank you for planning a WikiMania in Tunesia. If I may, I would like to ask a question about the visa section. One country not mentioned that comes to my mind is Israel. Can Israeli citizens obtain visa for Tunesia? For the transport section: it should be mentioned that Monastir airport ist the biggest in Tunesia and has plenty of affordable flight options. I wish you good luck for you bidding. --Gereon K. (talk) 19:00, 24 January 2014 (UTC) Reply

Basically Tunisia doesn't bar any country from entering its territory. In the registration, we will provide invitation letter for those who may need it to get visa.--Vivaystn (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

• If 1,000 attendees are expected (as seen from the revenue section of the budget, then the venue is too small (850 for the main hall).Deror avi (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

850 for the auditorium + (150 seats in the hall + giant TV)--Vivaystn (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

• If the main hall is 15 min walks fro m the venue it poses a problem – wasting time commuting between keynote lectures and opening and closing event to the sessions. Deror avi (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

In fact it is 10min (https://goo.gl/maps/UbQSh) Page is updated.--Vivaystn (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

• Will there be Wifi at all the venue location – there is no Wifi Item in the budget, why is that? Deror avi (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

• What is the distance of the hotels and dorms from the venue?Deror avi (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

Most of them could be reached by walk (less than 20min). Taking taxi is also possible for some hotels and that will be between 2ドル to 5ドル --Vivaystn (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

• How LGBT will be treated? Will their safety be guaranteed? Can an LGBT meetup (as is customary in Wikimania) take place? Deror avi (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC) Reply

Taking local culture into consideration, LGBT meetup will not be feasible in Monastir. --Vivaystn (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC) Reply
