This is very useful info Ginevra, could you add it to the wiki or the
submissions page so people know how to draw this distinction even if not
all the poster details are known yet? Thanks!

Another query. The submissions page currently
says:
“If you want to present a project you can make a poster (a link to will
be soon provided).”
Do you have a link for this or any info? This will help submitters
decide whether their ideas are better for a full submission or a poster.
Thanks.
The difference between posters and critical issues presentations is that
the first kind of format is meant to present a single activity or a set
of projects (i.e. "My editathon at the Museum of Clocks" or "What has
WMI done during last year"), while the second is meant to present a
critical reflection on a problem (i.e. "What are editathons truly useful
for" or "How are chapters growing").
Beside this, the posters are targeted for newbies, while the critical
issues presentations are targeted for people with some experience in the
movement.
We don't have yet a link to the poster submission form because of some
unforeseen issues, but we believe that this explanation should be enough
to decide if someone wants to submit one or the other kind of presentation.

Forgive me if I’m missing something, but was
there ever an announcement
to this list about the initial deadline or that submissions were open?
No, there wasn't.
We mostly spread the link on the projects, and a banner has been online.
