Hello all,
We are very happy to announce that the conference dedicated to minoritized
languages on the Wikimedia projects will be back for its 7th edition, to be
held in Waterford City, Ireland, in September 2024. The exact date will be
announced as soon as possible.
Getting back to its roots, in the Celtic languages and nations, the event
gathers people from communities and languages that are underrepresented on
the Wikimedia projects. It is a place where people working on growing and
maintaining their communities can meet, learn from each other, and support
each other on topics like community growth, technical tools, or
collaboration with partners.
Celtic Knot 2024
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2024>, will be an
in-person event, held in Waterford, Ireland's oldest city which has an
abundance of cultural heritage and history. We are currently exploring
options to make conference resources (talks, panels, etc.) available to
those who are unable to attend in person.
We are currently gathering input from the community to build a conference
tailored to your needs: whether you attended a previous edition of the
Celtic Knot or not, if you are involved in underrepresented languages on
the Wikimedia Projects, please take a few minutes to fill in the community
survey <https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_erCHFhEJyzrO46i>
(available in English, Irish and Welsh), and make sure to share the
information with your local group. The survey is open until January 21st.
Many thanks in advance!
As we are starting to build the concept and the program, we will regularly
improve the existing event pages on Meta and post updates on the talk page
of the event

The core organizing team is composed of Amy O’Riordan (WCI), Sophie
Fitzpatrick (WCI), Daria Cybulska (WMUK), Richard Nevell (WMUK), supported
by Léa Lacroix (community engagement consultant). If you have ideas or
suggestions, if you would like to get involved in the conference, feel free
to contact any of us.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Celtic Knot!
Best wishes,
Richard Nevell
