Hotel in San Francisco[edit]

For those of you who are joining our kick-off meeting, the Wikimedia Foundation has booked hotel rooms at the Mosser hotel:

The Mosser http://www.themosser.com

54 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94103 +1 (415) 986-4400

You are booked under your names at the Mosser, which is the "traditional" hotel for all our guests in San Francisco.

Transportation[edit]

It's easy to reach the hotel from San Francisco Airport by BART:

1) Buy a ticket at the automatic ticket vending machine (you'll need $8.10 in one direction -- if you want to use BART during your stay, a $20 ticket makes sense)

2) Take the yellow line to Pittsburg/Bay Point (it's the only line available, you can make no mistake)

3) The trip takes about 30 minutes -- please have a look at the map on Wikimedia Commons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Revised_BART_map.svg

3) Get off BART at the station "Powell"

4) The 4th Street crosses San Francisco's Market Street and the Mosser is about 150 m / 500 feet from the BART station
