Hey folks!
Wikimania is coming up and I need your help! I will be giving a
keynote about Wikidata and would like to show the human side of our
awesome project. Wikidata wouldn't be what it is without all of you
and I see Wikimania not only as an opportunity to highlight all of the
exciting software developments around Wikidata, but to also show off
what an awesome, creative and diverse community we have here!
To do this, I would like as many of you as possible to send me a photo
of yourself - a selfie (
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12068677) would
be perfect. Bonus points if it either demonstrates a connection you
have with Wikidata or includes the Wikidata logo somehow. You can be
subtle and sneaky with the logo or go big and bold—the only limit is
your creativity! All submissions should be licensed CC-BY and you must
have the right to upload and use the image. Additionally it’d be
awesome if you could send me a sentence or two about what Wikidata
means to you. (Either use my user talk page or send me an email.)
Submission deadline is July 20th. When you're ready, upload your file
to Wikimedia Commons in the category “Wikidata selfies”
(
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_selfies). Need
some inspiration? Check the category.
I’m sure we can be just as famous as the Oscar selfie:
