We are delighted to announce the formation of the Core Organizing Team

We are also calling for volunteers to be a member of its sub-committees
such as Scholarship, Programming, Trust&Safety, Multimedia/virtual

Note: Please be explicit on the committee you prefer to join. We will first
reach out to those who had indicated a committee they like to join.
Do ensure that your user account preferences on meta wiki have your email
address enabled so that organizers would reach back to you for the result
of your submitted expression of interest.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Hello Wikimedians,
Now that local Wikimania events across the world are coming to a close, I
wanted to say thank you to all of you on behalf of the COT. Whether you
attended or spoke at the virtual event, organized or attended an in-person
event, or volunteered behind the scenes, you helped make the Festival
happen. Check out our thank you post on Diff <https://w.wiki/5cmn>. Looking
forward to seeing you all next year in Singapore or online!
Best,
*Antoni Mtavangu (*on behalf of the COT

Queridos y queridas wikimedistas,
Se acerca el evento anual que aglutina a todas las personas que son parte
de este hermoso movimiento, *Wikimanía 2022.*
Para que puedan unirse y darle un vistazo todo lo que hay se creó esta landing
page <https://diff.wikimedia.org/wikimania-2022/> que centraliza
publicaciones de *Diff*(un blog de la Fundación) vinculadas a *Wikimanía*
por si hay personas por fuera de la comunidad o más nuevas que quieran
adentrarse un poco más en el mundo de Wikimedia. Igualmente en la página en
meta <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania> se encuentra
disponible toda la información.
En este post se anuncian los bloques de horario
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/es/2022/07/12/el-festival-wikimania-se-vuelve-gl…>
donde
habrá transmisión en vivo. El viernes es el día de América y donde se
centralizan la mayoría de las charlas de la región. Cabe destacar que habrá
interpretación al español todos los días.
En este otro post se anuncia la plataforma
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/es/2022/07/20/la-plataforma-que-acogera-a-wikima…>
donde
se vivirá Wikimania y el sistema de registración. Un dato importante es el
siguiente: para poder interactuar en vivo se requiere que se registren a la
plataforma; igualmente se podrá ver en vivo de manera sincrónica en Youtube
y de manera asincrónica luego de los diferentes bloques de horarios. Igual
recomiendo que se inscriban.
En este mapa <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/In-person_events> se
puede observar todos los eventos en persona que habrán alrededor del mundo
también. Nosotros nos reuniremos en la Feria del Libro el domingo por la
mañana para celebrar. ¿Quieres unirte? Te esperamos.

Hello Wikimanians!
We are just over one week away from Wikimania. We know you have questions
(about registration, the program, in-person events, and probably more
topics!) so join us at one of this week’s open space calls:
-
2 August at 22:00 UTC <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1659477616>
-
3 August at 12:00 UTC <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1659528003>
Participation information, including languages supported on the call, is on
the Wikimania Wiki <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_desk>.
See you there!

Hello Wikimedians! It's four weeks to our Festival Wikimania 2022 and We
are happy to let you three important updates as follows:👇 Wikimania
Festival will have scheduled programming that rotates between three
longitudinal zones: Asia-Oceania; the Americas; and Africa, Europe, and the
Middle East.
This year, apart from the core UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English,
French, Russian and Spanish), the Wikimania Festival will provide live
interpretation on a rotating basis into Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese,
Portuguese, Swahili, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
Moreover, as part of a hybrid Wikimania, Wikimedia affiliates around the
globe will be hosting interactive in-person events, from watch parties to
edit-a-thons, to slumber parties and picnics. For more info please visit
our Diff post
