Hey all,
We have some important news to share on behalf of the WikiCite organizers.
First off–in case you missed it–we released our annual report https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5648233 last week, and it's been getting a lot of traction https://twitter.com/Wikicite/status/938778592653332480.
So much has happened over the past 12 months: interest in creating a collaborative knowledge base of sources to support free knowledge is growing among libraries, linked data organizations, tool developers, and many groups in the Wikimedia movement. New contributors and organizations, that were not part of this community these past 2 years, are now joining us and we need to make sure WikiCite remains sustainable in years to come.
For this reason, we're working with our funders to ensure the next cycle of WikiCite events is well supported. We have decided to move our main annual event https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2018 from the spring to the *fall of 2018*, in order to concentrate our efforts on fundraising and creating a long term strategic plan.
Ahead of WikiCite 2018, we'll be supporting local events to continue to grow the community. We'll be present at the *Wikimedia Hackathon* in Barcelona. We will submit a session proposal to *Wikimania 2018*, and we'll attend other events of interest to the movement. If you know of any satellite session or event where WikiCite should have a presence, please let us know https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/News.
Should you have any questions for the organizing committee, you can get in touch at wikicite@wikimedia.org.
Best, Dario and Sarah
