Dear all,
the International Federation of Film Archives are planning a symposium
on "Sharing" on April 23-24 as part of their next annual conference
(22-27 April 2018) in Prague.
One of the organizers - Adelheid Heftberger, in CC - reached out to
ask whether I knew anyone who would be able to deliver an talk on
Wikidata there.
If that's you or you know someone who is active around film-related
matters on Wikidata, then please get in touch with her.
Submission deadline for proposals for the symposium is December 8, according to
http://nfa.cz/cz/industry/2018-fiaf/fiaf-2018/ .
Cheers,
Daniel

WebAssembly in JavaScript libraries we pull in, and what kind of packaging
and maintenance issues this may have. Will talk over on wikitech-l...
