Hello, I just sent this message to the general Wikimedia language mailing list. However, I wanted to send it here too because there are probably subscribers to this list (both committee members and observers) who don't follow the other list. I hope you don't mind the disturbance. :-)

Hello everyone,
I am one of the co-leaders of the Language space for this year's Wikimania in Stockholm. There are many different "spaces" (think "tracks", but a bit wider) this year, and one of them is the language space https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Languages. Unfortunately, there have not been too many proposed sessions for it yet (that actually goes for many of the spaces), so I would like to invite anyone who is planning to attend Wikimania and has something cool and language-related to talk about to submit a session proposal for our space (or any other space you might be interested in).
A session doesn't have to be a presentation – the aim this year is to make Wikimania a more interative experience than it has been previously. So the format of a session is very open – you could hold workshops to e.g. implement cool ideas from your language's community in other languages, or hold a panel or roundtable discussion. We could even have a language quiz, just something relaxing and fun. So if you have any ideas that you would be able to, please submit a proposal. The deadline was just today extended until June 9th (it was originally in 2 days), but sooner is better. :-)
You can submit proposals for the language space in the link above, or check out the other spaces here https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2019:Program.
Thank you, and see you (hopefully) in Stockholm!
