Hello all,
The *WikidataCon 2019
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019>* takes place from
tomorrow, October 25th, to Saturday October 26th. 250 participants from the
Wikidata community, Wikibase community and various organizations are
gathering in Berlin. During these two days, a lot of interesting sessions
related to Wikidata and Wikibase will take place (program
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program#Friday,_October_25th>).
The number of available seats for this conference was unfortunately
limited, but as we wanted to make sure that the content is accessible to
everyone, here's how you can *follow what's happening* at the conference:
- Sessions taking place in rooms Kleist, Kepler and Einstein will be
livestreamed. This means that they can be followed in real time, then
accessible in replay a hours after the session, and later released under
Creative Commons.
- The streaming will take place on
http://streaming.media.ccc.de (at the
moment, the link is not set up yet, it will be shortly before the event
starts)
- Slides of the speakers and other documents will be added by speakers
in a Commons category as well as on the individual pages of the sessions
(linked from the program
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program#Friday,_October_25th>
)
- Notes of the sessions are also linked from the sessions pages.
Participants in the session should take notes in the pads, and there is a
section for remote questions
- After the event, the documentation will be collected, including blog
posts, various reviews published by participants, and videos released with
multilingual subtitles
- You can follow the hashtag #WikidataCon on Twitter or other social
networks. A Discord instance <https://discordapp.com/invite/fJcc395> has
also been set up by a volunteer.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach me. Thanks,
