Hi, I also go to the Wikimania event in Esino Lario. I saw that you asked about camping during the event. I also was thinking about camping but the closest camping I found searching the web is in Dervio which is a bit far I think.

I read there is also free camping in Ortanella but it has nothing but a water tap. I wouldn't mind staying there if I knew other people will also camp there. Did you find a place to camp ? Thanks,

I got accommodation from WMIT in the end. When researching camping possibilities I could not find a good option close to Esino Lario, WMIT also didn't recommend it. --Abbe98 (talk) 09:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Question about glaciers

Hey Abbe! Jan said you had an interest in glaciers. I'm trying to put together the Spanish Wikipedia article on tropical glaciers here, but I can't find any article on any other Wikipedia about tropical glaciers and I'm not sure how to structure the article to begin with. Jan said you might be interested in helping out thinking a structure for it. Thanks in advance! --Scann (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Scann! There is a section on topical glaciers in this article on en.wp. I think that structure is a rather good one. However, as often on Wikimedia projects its missing information about the importance of these glaciers in local culture which actually could tie well together with how critical these sites are for things like water-supply and irrigation today.

Ahhh thanks! I should have checked on that first. I wonder though if it wouldn't be better to have a separate article about "Tropical glaciers" rather than having it in a sub section on an article about glacier retreat. Thanks again! --Scann (talk) 12:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, the section in the article above could even be a start to an article about "Tropical glaciers". Abbe98 (talk) 13:35, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
