Because we cannot record all sessions, we are asking for your help to ensure that all sessions are documented for remote attendees and for future documentation.
If you are leading a session at Wikimania this year, we are asking that you request that someone in your session take notes. If you are attending a session, please remind the leader to assign a notetaker (or volunteer to take notes with others!) This will help remote participants follow talks, and also ensure that sessions are well-documented.
Below are instructions for notetakers — this information is also available on
the speaker's page [4] and on
the Session Notes page [3] , where we hope to collect all session notes, recordings, and conference presentations.
(Replace 'Your Session' with the name of the session you are attending or leading.)
2. Take notes and fill out the information in the document
4. Speakers, please add any links to slideshows, decks, videos, or links to this site.
Added bonus: The
All Session Notes page [3] allows you to sort sessions at Wikimania by topic and theme. Y
ou can search for 'movement strategy' and find all of the sessions that involve movement strategy, or 'GLAM' and find all of the sessions that are about GLAM in some way...so it may be a useful tool to help figure out which sessions to attend.
Social Media: We will be monitoring the hashtag #wikimania and #wikimania2017 to scoop things into the @wikimania and @wikimedia accounts on Twitter. PLEASE feel free to livetweet sessions (with permission) and use the hashtags!
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. We're looking forward to ensuring that editors and readers — in Montreal and afar — can come together and participate in Wikimania.
