Hello all, 🎁 The WikidataCon 2021 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021> is starting on Wikidata’s ninth anniversary! As you may know, there’s a tradition of creating birthday presents <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Ninth_Birthday> and sharing them with the community. New tools, freshly started WikiProjects, but also art or meaningful discussions: you can prepare a present, with a team or on your own, and present it during the birthday presents lightning talks session. If you would like to book a slot, make sure to fill in this form <https://wolke.wikimedia.de/index.php/apps/forms/fDNqML83gPE2kZnt> before *October 16th*! 🏅 Speaking of cool projects, don’t forget that you can nominate your favorite community initiatives for the Wikidata Community Awards until *October 10th*. You can see the details of the collaborative nomination process <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Contribute/Community_awards> and add or improve existing proposals <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikidataCon_2021/Contribute/Community_awards> . 🗓️ The program of the second and third days of the WikidataCon is still under construction: we encourage you to submit proposals as soon as possible - the first version of the dynamic schedule will be released on *October 12th*. You can have a look at the thematic tracks <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_2_and_3_-_Community_tracks> and submit proposals <https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/submit/>. ✅ Of course, if it’s not done yet, don’t forget to register for the WikidataCon <https://pretix.eu/WDCon21/WDCon21/>: it is free of charge, and will allow you to receive a unique link to access the conference venue.
