Hello everyone,
MUDCon Fall 2026
(https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…)
will be held from November 11 to 13, 2026, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. You
can now submit your contributions to the program.
Day 1 is dedicated to GLAM topics. We welcome talks about using
MediaWiki in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Share your
collection data, data models, queries, or experiences with migration.
Day 2 will cover MediaWiki in enterprise, government, and public sector
contexts. This includes internal knowledge bases, structured data,
registries, monument lists, archival data, and related topics. We also
invite talks on knowledge management and AI, such as assistants that use
wiki content, knowledge graphs, or the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Day 3 is a half-day focused on hands-on work, including 90-minute
tutorials and open sessions that we will organize together at the event.
We are also interested in new MediaWiki integrations and extensions,
project ideas, technical experiments, and challenges related to building
and running wikis. If you are unsure, please submit your idea anyway. We
will try to find a suitable place for your contribution.
You can choose from several formats: full talks (25 minutes), short
talks (10 to 15 minutes), or lightning talks (5 minutes). Tutorials and
co-creation sessions will take place on day 3.
To submit, just provide a title, the format, and a short abstract.
Please use the Semantic-MediaWiki website
(https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…)
to publish your proposal by September 15, 2026. We will get back to you
by October 1, and the full program will be announced soon after.
If you are giving your first talk, this is a great conference to start
with. Sharing your own wiki experiences is just as valuable as technical
presentations. Get in touch with us if you are unsure whether your topic
is a good fit.
We look forward to receiving your proposals.
Cheers, Karsten Hoffmeyer, on behalf of the organizing committee
