Greetings everyone,

Submissions for the community tracks at WikidataCon are open. You are welcome to submit a proposal to the conference! Hilary Thorsen and I are helping to plan the GLAM track, which will be held Saturday, October 30th from 15:00 to 23:00 UTC.

WikidataCon is an event held every 2 years coinciding with Wikidata’s birthday and is a time for the Wikidata community to come together to learn from each other. This year it will be held virtually and run from October 29 to October 31, 2021. It’s a great way to share your work with the rest of the Wikidata community.

Overview of the Community Tracks: wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_2_and_3_-_Community_tracks
Information about proposing a session is further down on that same page: wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_2_and_3_-_Community_tracks#Propose_a_session
Direct link to the proposal system: pretalx.com/wdcon21/submit/fJyHGM/info/

Submissions are open until October 20, 2021 (midnight anywhere in the world), but the sooner you can submit a proposal, the easier it will be to fit you in. Each proposal undergoes an internal review process, and the schedule will be gradually released over the coming weeks.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need any help with the submission process.

Best,

Giovanna Fontenelle
