Dear Markus,

It is true, however it is not mandatory for the participants to join the event physically. It will be possible to present remotely, and if that is not possible in the short timeframe (which is due to Nordic Open Data Week happening and the external funder), someone from Wikimedia Sverige will present that finalist inline with the submission, and it will not count negatively by the jury at all (the submission should ideally be pretty much a good presentation in itself).

I will update the wiki page to make this clear, thanks for pointing it out.


Med vänliga hälsningar,

Dear Jan,

I just wondered about the timeline you have for this event. Is it true that the submission deadline is 1 June 2015, and that the ten finalists are then expected to present their work in Sweden on 4 June 2015? Or is this a typo? Three days seem to be a very short time to select finalists and to have the finalist plan a journey to a conference.

Regards,

Markus
