by Deryck Chan 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Hello Wikimania community, I'm applying for non-WMF funding to go to Wikimania. Can we have an indication from the organising team on what the costs of this year's Wikimania (registration and accommodation) are likely to be, so I can put down an amount for my funding application? Deryck

Update on some Wikimania preparations
by Eric Luth 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

Hi all! As we had the pleasure to announce in Cape Town last summer, Wikimania will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, 14-18 August next year. Since 1 October, I am working as Conference Manager on Wikimedia Sweden’s behalf, so if you have any questions you may direct them to me. The preparations have already begun, and we have some exciting pieces of news to share with you! Firstly, we are happy to tell that the logistical parts are all set so far. Wikimania will take place at the Stockholm University, and the opening ceremony will take place in the City Hall – the same room where the Nobel Banquet is held every year! Hotels are booked for all scholarship recipients. The chair of the program committee has also been chosen. It will be Liam Wyatt (Wittylama), long term Wikimedia volunteer. Any questions about the program can be directed to him, at liamwyatt(a)gmail.com. We are currently working hard to develop the Wikimania wiki. New for this year is that we are developing a prototype for a reusable Wiki, to be found under the domain ‘wikimania.wikimedia.org’. The idea is that all Wikimania websites should be found under the same umbrella, and that the model can be reused for each new Wikimania website. Please follow the discussions at the talk page <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page> of the current landing side. Finally, as always, we will need volunteers and ambassadors. Are you willing to help out, physically or digitally? Please send us an email at info(a)wikimedia.se or sign yourself up here, and we will contact you: https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2019/Volont%C3%A4rer (the address will change when the new wiki is ready). Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for those of you celebrating, and a happy last weeks of December for the rest of you. In Sweden, we look forward to brighter times as we just pass the darkest day of the year. All the best, *Eric Luth* Conference Manager, Wikimedia Sverige eric.luth(a)wikimedia.se +46 (0) 701 13 80 08 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige. Läs mer på blimedlem.wikimedia.se

Slides and videos
by Samat 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hi everyone, there is very few sections (presentations, workshops etc.), where the slides and the recordings are linked from the Wikimania wiki. If you have the presentation slides and/or a video recording, please upload and link them from the event page. (Link to the corresponding Commons category would be useful as well.) Thank you! Kind regards Samat

Closing wikimania2018wiki
by MA 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hello, As it happens with all wikimania wikis upon completion of the event, the wikimania2018wiki is in the process of being closed. Closing means that the wiki and its contents will continue to be online and readable by all, but account creation and editting will be restricted. I plan to move forward and close the wiki in *one month* after the sending of this email (this is September 16, 2018 aprox.). If you have content that needs to be uploaded to the wiki, please do so. I've setup a ticket at <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201188> so we can track its progress. Of course, if you need more time I have no issues to wait. However the wiki will eventually be closed as all other wikimania wikis. Best regards, M.
