The number of available seats for this conference was unfortunately limited, but as we wanted to make sure that the content is accessible to everyone, here's how you can *follow what's happening* at the conference:
- Sessions taking place in rooms Kleist, Kepler and Einstein will be livestreamed. This means that they can be followed in real time, then accessible in replay a hours after the session, and later released under Creative Commons. - The streaming will take place on http://streaming.media.ccc.de (at the moment, the link is not set up yet, it will be shortly before the event starts) - Slides of the speakers and other documents will be added by speakers in a Commons category as well as on the individual pages of the sessions (linked from the program https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program#Friday,_October_25th ) - Notes of the sessions are also linked from the sessions pages. Participants in the session should take notes in the pads, and there is a section for remote questions - After the event, the documentation will be collected, including blog posts, various reviews published by participants, and videos released with multilingual subtitles - You can follow the hashtag #WikidataCon on Twitter or other social networks.
