Hi all,
The Wikimania organizing team is now happy to announce the *Program Design* https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design of Wikimania 2019!
We believe that this year’s conference theme https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Theme requires a format that is *future-oriented, collaborative, active, and focused on practical problem-solving. *The program will therefore consist of a series of parallel *spaces* (or tracks), lead by *leaders,* and through practical training, learning, idea-sharing and cross-cultural collaboration focusing on different *topic areas*.
The call for proposals for these *Leaders*, and what they would like to do with those *Spaces*, is NOW OPEN. We invite you to visit the Program Design page https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design on the Wikimania Wiki to read more.

Wow! This is a great idea, and I hope it will change our outlook on the Wikimedia movement and the potential it carries for change at a much greater level than building and sharing knowledge... I have been trying to bring attention to what participation in the movement can do for disadvantaged individuals practically on my own in my community, and now reading this... and the connection with the SDGs... it's more than exciting :)
Looking forward to seeing how this develops!
Best, Mina

It does sound like an interesting approach I look forward to it being a successful format, will there time at the end of the day for panel sessions to further explore the days discussions. Like Mina I too have been working with disadvantaged and oppressed communities to bring their knowledge, language, and culture into the Wiki world.
It'll be an interesting challenge for the program committee to judge the where a talk submission fits, not just in time but also in content.

Bumping this thread...
Have you ever wanted to curate a room at Wikimania for a day? With one week to go in the call for people to lead a "Space" during the conference, we have so far received submissions on these topic areas:
Data Science Languages Diversity Health Education Environmental Sustainability Transcription
You can read brief public summaries of these submissions here: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design#Submitted_proposals...
If you think something's missing, and would like to add to those which are already listed, Go to that page and fill out the form to propose your topic!
- Liam / Wittylama (program chair)

Hi all,
As a short reminder: today (22 March) is the last day to propose a space for Wikimania 2019. More information here: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design
The program committee chair, Liam Wyatt, has also recorded a short video explaining the changed format of the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKUo3CqpEcw
Hope to see you in Stockholm in August!
