As part of some discussions with Jim Maddock (see his recent thread
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia…>),
I started a meta page to catalog some of the many natural experiments
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_experiment> that impact the
Wikimedia projects. I've seeded it with some examples (censorship,
Wikipedia Zero, lockdowns, Public Domain Day, new data centers, etc.) but
am certain that there are many more out there. If folks on this list know
of other examples, please edit the page below boldly or respond on thread
and I'll migrate examples onto the page.

Hi All,
The WOW2022 conference, themed Diversity, Diasporas and Digitality: The Worlds of Wikimedia™ and beyond, will be hosted by University of Sydney on November 16- 18, 2022. See website<https://www.wow2022.net/>.
Call for papers
The first two decades of the 21st century have brought war, a global pandemic, climate changes and the widespread erosion of culture, as recognised by the United Nations which declared 2022-2032 to be the International Decade of Indigenous Languages<https://en.unesco.org/idil2022-2032>. This conference seeks to investigate the variety of ways that digital media is (or isn’t) meeting these challenges. We invite participants to consider how communities that have been displaced, marginalised or otherwise disadvantaged, may best be served by online platforms and open knowledge movements. We seek submissions that address open knowledge, global diversity, inclusivity and cultural dynamism from a range of perspectives, including digital communication, indigenous knowledge, health communication and Internet studies. We particularly encourage submissions that explore knowledge activism, such as the Wikimedia movement; open platforms, such as Wikipedia; as well as digital methods across different disciplines and fields of knowledge.
Topics could address:
* Internet activism
* Digital diasporas
* Open knowledge
* Indigenous storytelling
* Covid online
* Gender parity
* Cultural resilience
* Decolonizing the Internet
* Digital tools and methods for online diversity and abilities
* Orality and Literacy
* Innovative Case Studies and projects
Please submit abstracts up to 250 words via EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/WOW2022> by June 20, 2022. Acceptance of papers by July 11.
For questions please contact Associate Professor Frances Di Lauro<mailto:frances.dilauro@sydney.edu.au>, Department of Writing Studies, and Dr Bunty Avieson<mailto:bunty.avieson@sydney.edu.au>, Department of Media and Communications.

Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours Tuesday, 2022-05-03. Find your local time here
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1651593600>.
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3]. You are welcome to add questions / items to the etherpad in advance,
or when you arrive at the session. Even if you are unable to attend the
session, you can leave a question that we can address asynchronously. If
you do not have a specific agenda item, you are welcome to hang out and
enjoy the conversation. More detailed information (e.g., about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves available to answer
research related questions that you as Wikimedia volunteer editors,
organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in your projects and
initiatives. Here are some example cases we hope to be able to support you
with:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour. However, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
Hope to see many of you,
Emily, on behalf of the WMF Research Team

Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
15th Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics
- CICM 2022 -
September 19-23, 2022
Tbilisi, Georgia (hybrid event)
http://www.cicm-conference.org/2022
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The CICM conference brings together the many separate communities that
have developed theoretical and practical solutions for mathematical
applications.
CICM will be held as a hybrid event (in person and online) and will
provide associated events with appropriate infrastructure for
supporting both kinds of participants.
CICM covers
* all aspects of mathematics such as formalization, computation,
deduction, mathematical databases, and mathematical documents,
* all kinds of tool support such as theorem provers, computer algebra
systems, knowledge management tools, and user interfaces
* the whole spectrum from theoretical foundations to practical tools
and from challenge problems to case studies.
Workshops typically feature presentations of ongoing research that is
not ready yet for formal publication, and tutorials present extended
demos of a particular software.
However, the CICM organizers strongly encourage a broad interpretation
of these concepts and welcome proposals for any kind of event that
benefits the CICM community.
A proposal should include the following information:
* title of the event
* names and affiliations of the organizers
* brief description of the event (e.g., 1-2 paragraphs)
* proposed workshop duration (typically half a day up to two days)
* style (online-only, in person-only, hybrid)
* previous instances of the event (if any)
* preferred or excluded dates within the CICM dates (if any)
CICM will take care of publishing and distributing informal
proceedings of the workshop/tutorial events (if the respective
organizers so with) via open access online proceedings with
CEUR-WS.org.
Important Dates
===============
Proposals should be submitted by July 8, 2022.
Earlier submissions are strongly encouraged, and notifications of
acceptance will be issued on a rolling basis.
All proposals should be submitted via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cicm2022
More details on the conference are available from

Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours this Tuesday, 2022-04-05. Find your local time here
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1649199600>.
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3]. You are welcome to add questions / items to the etherpad in advance,
or when you arrive at the session. Even if you are unable to attend the
session, you can leave a question that we can address asynchronously. If
you do not have a specific agenda item, you are welcome to hang out and
enjoy the conversation. More detailed information (e.g., about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves available to answer
research related questions that you as Wikimedia volunteer editors,
organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in your projects and
initiatives. Here are some example cases we hope to be able to support you
with:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour. However, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
To improve the impact and accessibility of our sessions, we invite you to
share your feedback in a brief optional survey [6]. We estimate that it
will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. We welcome your input even if you
have not attended Office Hours. If you prefer to not respond via Google
form, you can provide your feedback via email. We will accept responses
until April 15, 2022.
Hope to see many of you,
