Wikimania News

edit

Hi!

As you may have noticed on the mailing lists and on this wiki, there's a lot of things happening with Wikimania right now:

  • The scholarship application process has OPENED.
  • Call for spaces and their leaders is OPEN.
  • Theme and first keynote speaker has been ANNOUNCED

It would be great if you could help spread these news to your local communities!

We are also looking for an ambassador coordinator, a person willing to coordinate and take a lead on the ambassador efforts. Would you like to be that person? If so, please send an email to eric.luth[at]wikimedia.se, describing why you would be the most suitable person for that role. The Wikimania ambassador lead will coordinate and drive the ambassador efforts, which will allow you to network with all the ambassadors and help organize the conference in another level.

Congrats! Your poster has been accepted for Wikimania 2019

Hi Afifa Afrin,
Congratulations! Your poster has been accepted for Wikimania 2019. Now what?
Start designing your poster. Remember that this is an academic poster, not a promotional one: this means that you have to share insights, technical aspects, numbers, and any technical information that would allow a participant to understand your process better. For more information about academic posters, and examples that will inspire you, please visit the Poster session page.
If you'd like us to print the poster for you, please send it by Sunday, July 21st. We'll also take care of bringing the poster to the conference, and this option is at no cost to you. Find information about where to send your poster here.
Finally, on the day of the poster session, remember that every poster presenter is expected to stand by their poster and engage session participants in conversation about it. We will not display posters whose presenters are not in the room at the time of the session.
Thank you for submitting a proposal and making Wikimania more diverse! We look forward to seeing you in a few months,
María Cruz

Only a few days left to submit your poster for print!
