Dear Wikimedians,
As a part of the Wikimedia Movement’s ongoing response to the COVID-19
pandemic <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic>, the Local
Organizing Committee (LOC) in Uganda
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Uganda>,
together with the WikiIndaba Steering Committee (WISCom) have resolved to
postpone WikiIndaba 2020, which was scheduled to happen in Kampala, Uganda
in November 2020.
WikiIndaba will continue to be hosted in Kampala, Uganda, and the new date
for the next WikiIndaba will (tentatively) be on 6 - 8 November 2021 in
Uganda.
The LOC and WISCom along with support from the Wikimedia Foundation
(WMF) will continue planning for the conference to ensure participants in
the African continent and from the diaspora have a memorable and impactful
conference.
More updates regarding WikiIndaba 2021 will be posted as they develop, and
these will be shared on meta, mailing lists, and other social channels.
We encourage all interested participants to take advantage of this
postponement to start preparing or improving their proposals, talks, and
any interesting projects they will like to share at the conference in
advance. Your participation and support to the program will be instrumental
to sharing your collective knowledge and creativity with fellow Wikimedians
at the conference.
Look out for the call out for proposals and dates on these channels;
