Hello everyone,
I'm excited to invite you to the 33rd edition of the DCW Conversation Hour,
featuring Shanmugapriya, an Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at
the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dhanbad. With a background
spanning postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto Scarborough and
Lancaster University, she brings rich international experience to her work.
In this session, we will explore the role of community-driven knowledge in
resisting bias, the persistence of exclusionary structures across digital
platforms, and the possibilities digital humanities offer for inclusive and
equitable participation. Aligned with the Wikimedia 2030 Movement
Strategy—particularly the goals of ensuring equity in decision-making,
promoting knowledge equity, and innovating in free knowledge practices—this
Conversation Hour will invite us to reflect on how Wikimedia communities
can challenge systemic bias, amplify marginalized voices, and build more
resilient and representative knowledge systems for the future.
The Conversation Hour is scheduled for Sunday, 28 September 2025, at 13:30
UTC (7:00 p.m. IST).
We have integrated registration directly into the event page; the link is
provided below:

We look forward to your participation. Please bring along your questions!
Kind regards,

Hello everyone,
This is a notification that the deadline for the Fall 2025 MediaWiki Users & Developers Conference<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> CfP is extended until September 15th. The conference will be held on October 28–30th, and hosted by the TIB Leibniz Centre in Hanover, Germany. A lot of exciting proposals<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> are already coming in, but we want to give a chance to more presenters who may have found our original deadline too tight after the summer break to take part. A preliminary conference programme will be released in mid-September and the final programme will be available by Sept. 28th.
The CfP remains open to presentation and tutorial proposals on any topic related to MediaWiki usage, deployment or development, including the MediaWiki extension ecosystem (Wikibase, Semantic MediaWiki, etc). To propose a tutorial or any other form of contribution talk for this conference, just fill out this form<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Talk?Talk%5BConfer…>.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, to meet and discuss MediaWiki-related topics relating to both the Wikimedia world and uses within companies, organizations, etc.
Special thanks also to the sponsors<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> of this event!
