Hello all,
As you may know, the WikidataCon 2021 will take place online on October
29-31, and its program is built in two parts:
- on Day 1, *the main track
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_1_-_Main_program>*,
that will deliver plenty of curated presentations and keynotes from diverse
and interesting speakers, available to everyone in livestream ;
- on Day 2 and 3, *the community tracks
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_2_and_3_-_Community_tracks>*,
ten thematic tracks that will allow the registered participants to dive
deeper into multiple topics, share knowledge, present the latest updates of
their projects, run discussions and workshops related to sustainability,
GLAM, education and science, Wikibase, and plenty of other topics.
The call for proposals for the community program is still running and will
be open until October 20th midnight. However, as we are building a dynamic
schedule, we can already present you the *first beta version of the
schedule <https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/schedule/#2021-10-30>*.
This schedule is presenting the sessions that have already been submitted
and accepted by the community curators, and confirmed by the speakers. The
exact times and duration of the sessions may still evolve until the week of
the conference, depending on the new submissions we receive.
If you would like to contribute to the community program, if you have ideas
or suggestions, don’t hesitate to *submit sessions
<https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/submit/> as soon as possible and before
October 20th*, to make sure that we can include them in the program!
We will keep releasing beta versions of the schedule and its content will
still be very flexible until October 26th.
As a reminder, you can also book a slot for the birthday presents lightning
talks <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Ninth_Birthday> and if you
