Woow - I never heard of the event.
Hm...I see the event page was started only 4 days ago.
That is really a pity as I am generally interested in these events.
Maybe you should have asked for an extension to do it better?
I hope the rest of the project was done well.

It is strange to see WMF giving a grant of 40-50.000 USD
to researchers of Wikidata having less than 100 edits
(even now when the project is almost over)...anyway,
looking forward to seeing your recordings and outputs.

Good luck with the final stretch!

Dear Željko, all,

 

I apologise, this research event was yesterday and today. Unfortunately we were very late with the organisation, and the event could not be postponed because our project is ending on the 31st of March.

 

So we started publicising the event late and on some mailing lists (including this one) the invite got stuck in moderation. I take responsibility for this and again apologise for the insufficient communication.

 

You are all welcome to join today if you have time. The second and last day of the event starting now at the following address: https://ucl.zoom.us/j/94803507936

 

You can see the schedule here on Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Queer_Data_Days

Best wishes,

Hi! Are you sure it is March and not April?
(March 15th was yesterday...and by now even in most far time zones ;-)

Queer Data Days

A Wikidata Gender Diversity Project Event

15 & 16 March 2024 at 14:00 - 19:30 GMT

A two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform

 

The Wikidata Gender Diversity project is proud to present Queer Data Days, a two-day virtual event hosted on the Zoom platform.

 

The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers, activists, and artists investigating or applying queer approaches to data and technology to meet in an open and inclusive venue, share their latest work, and engage in fruitful discussion.

 

During the event, speakers with different backgrounds — both academic and non-academic — will share short papers on a broad range of topics including queer data, queer identities, queer language, data justice and power, queer design, and queer communities on digital platforms.

 

The event will be held on Friday the 15th and Saturday the 16th of March 2024, from 2:00pm to 7:30pm GMT. The first day will be primarily centred on the Wikimedia ecosystem. Both days will include presentations about the outcomes of the Wikidata Gender Diversity project.

 

The event is convened by Daniele Metilli (University College London), Chiara Paolini (KU Leuven), Beatrice Melis (University of Pisa & Gran Sasso Science Institute), and Marta Fioravanti (oio.studio), and organised by Ciara Adeniyi-Jones (University College London).
