New subject: [OT] Are you going to Wikimania? Submit session proposals until June 9th!

29 May 2019

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 <

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

Thank you, and see you (hopefully) in Stockholm!
