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. :-)

Subject: Are you going to Wikimania? Submit session proposals until June 9th!
To: Languages discussion and Wikimedia Indigenous Languages
<languages(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
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. 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.
Thank you, and see you (hopefully) in Stockholm!
