It's been a while since the last official WikiCite update but I am thrilled to announce that we have dates confirmed for
WikiCite 2017.
WikiCite 2017 is a 3-day conference, summit and hack day hosted in
Vienna on
May 23-25, 2017 (back to back with the
Wikimedia Hackathon).
It expands
efforts that started last year in Berlin with
WikiCite 2016 towards the creation of a bibliographic repository to serve open knowledge.
WikiCite 2017 will be a venue to:
- present on progress of existing and new initiatives around citations and bibliographic data across Wikimedia projects (day 1: conference)
- discuss technical, social, outreach and policy directions (day 2: summit)
- get together to hack on new ideas and applications (day 3: hack day)
For a summary of what was accomplished last year, you can read our
report.
Additional details on the event, the application process for prospective participants, travel support requests, and information about the venue will be posted shortly on
Meta and via the mailing lists, but we wanted to share the dates as early as possible so you can save them in your calendar.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Dario
on behalf of the WikiCite 2017 organizers
