Hello all,
On behalf of the Celtic Knot Conference
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022> organization
team, I’m happy to share some exciting news about the online event, taking
place in less than one month!
☘ You can now register for the online conference
The registration form
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/celtic-knot-conference-2022-tickets-337125239667>
is now available and will remain open until and during the conference,
taking place online on July 1-2. Attendance is free of charge and doesn’t
include the satellite events
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022/Satellite_events>
that may be organized by individuals or groups before or after the main
program.
Please note that registration is necessary to attend most of the sessions
of the conference, especially the 4 workshops that we offer during the
event.
For each workshop, you have two options:
-
Sign up as an active participant: you will be able to enable your
microphone and camera, share your screen, interact directly with the
speakers, and your participation will appear in the livestream for all
participants (limited spots available) ;
-
Join as a watcher: your sound and image don’t appear on the recording,
and you can interact with others via the chat.
☘ A first glimpse of the program
On the program page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022/Online_program>,
you can now see what the structure of the online event will look like: a
light program with one track and a lot of time to take breaks and watch the
asynchronous content of the conference.
We selected a few important topics out of the requests expressed in the
community survey, and we are currently working with experienced community
leaders to offer four workshops that will allow participants to upgrade
their skills and help their project grow:
-
Community growth
-
Organize or join an editing campaign
-
Databox, the simple Wikidata-powered infobox
-
Translate Wikidata properties in your languages
If you’re interested in one or several of these workshops, don’t forget to
register
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/celtic-knot-conference-2022-tickets-337125239667>
!
As previously communicated, the collaborative part of the program takes the
shape of the “News from the Language Communities” session, where various
groups will present what they have been working on over the past year. More
information about these presentations will be added on the program page in
the next few weeks.
☘ Connect with participants
When you fill in the registration form, no data will be shared publicly ;
if you want to let other people know that you will attend the event, feel
free to add your name on the participants list
