Hello,I suggest to make a social media group such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or others, so that we can discuss the program effectively._______________________________________________Pada tanggal Sel, 21 Mar 2023 11.01, Butch Bustria <bustrias@gmail.com> menulis:_______________________________________________Hello Everyone,On behalf of the ESEAP Wikimania 2023 Core Organizing Team, we are delighted on the announcement of the host of Wikimania 2024. We are here on assistance to the Wikimedians of the CEE (Central and Eastern European region) for their learning and technical needs.ESEAP was at the early stages of planning on October 2019 already thinking on making the conference hybrid, making it inclusive to those who cant travel to our conference venue due to varying reasons from visa concerns, anxiety of personally meeting strange people to sustainable development advocacy. The pandemic that started in early 2020 strengthen our resolve on the importance of remote participation.We also value importance of in-person gathering as direct social interaction has meaningful effect to many Wikimedians. That is why planning for 2023 is somewhat of a challenge though we desire to be true to our theme: Diversity, Collaboration, Future. We honor the diverse options of Wikimedians whether they wish to physically come and personally meet the Wikimedians that inspired them, virtually participate, share the Wikimania spirit to their community though a regional satellite event, or simply pre-record their presentation as a pragmatic approach.We all expect the Wikimedians of CEE will craft the conference theme for 2024 as this serves as a foundation or anchor on how the program selection, scholarship selection and other aspects of planning would look like.We are looking forward to finally hand over the flag to the next host on August 19. We have been waiting for this for four years, and it is not easy to me to present at the Wikimania closing ceremony three times! 😂Kind regards,Butch BustriaOn Mon, Mar 20, 2023, 11:38 PM Wikipedysta Nadzik <pl.wikipedia.nadzik@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________On behalf of the 2024 Core Organizing Team, I would like to thank the Wikimania Steering Committee for their trust and cooperation during this process.Our team is thrilled to have been chosen to host Wikimania in 2024.

I am very excited to share that Wikimania 2024 will be hosted in the city of Kraków in Poland! [1] Kraków had a strong submission with a collaborative design and an experienced, enthusiastic team supporting it [2]. At the crossroads of history, culture, and technology, we are confident that the impact of Wikimania will be great for our projects, the movement in general, and especially, local communities in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. Read more on Diff [3].
Bringing our movement’s beloved event to life is not simple and we took many criteria into consideration. We were grateful for the expressions of interest received for hosting Wikimania in 2024, 2025, and beyond [4]. Announcing host cities this far in advance is a new approach to organizing Wikimania we are exploring [5]. In addition to the support we provide as the stewards of Wikimania, together with the Foundation’s Movement Communications team, we see great value in facilitating more time for organizers so they can learn from each other in practice and strengthen their capacity [6], [7]. We hope to announce the hosts of Wikimania in 2025 and 2026 in the coming months or at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore.
Once again, wholehearted congratulations to the 2024 Wikimania team. We know you will do an excellent job welcoming our global family to your timeless city. And to our global family, we hope that you are as excited as we are returning to the vibrant CEE region after 14 years. Looking forward to collaborating with you all on wiki and in person.
My best wishes for all,
Phoebe (Wikimania Steering Committee)
On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation Movement Communications team
