Dear all,
We are excited to share that the call for program proposals is now
officially open! Review the information on the Wikimania Wiki
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program>, and make your

in-person, feel free to submit in any of the Wikimania 2025 official
languages i.e French, English, Spanish, Swahili and Arabic.

Sustainability and it highlights our vision for a Wikimedia movement that
is accessible to all, fosters collaboration across diverse communities, and
prioritizes long-term viability.
Your submission therefore should have elements connecting to at least one
of these:
-
Inclusivity: Wikimania will be an opportunity to showcase regional and
thematic groups as examples of inclusion: different volunteer groups,
individuals, and affiliates, at different stages of development and from
different cultures closely involved and collaborating in an equitable way.
-
Impact: As a distributed, global event, Wikimania will be a way to learn
from each other and share knowledge like community initiatives, tools
usage, organizing events, governance, online campaigns and edit-a-thons,
solving Wiki-related problems, and more.
-
Sustainability: Wikimania 2025 will be significant to many Wikimedians
as a forum to discuss various strategies , matters confronting the
Wikimedia movement and other current and future priorities facing our
movement, from technology to policy around the world.

Dear ESEAP community members,
Greetings!
As has been proposed in ESEAP Conference 2024 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia,
Manila will be the host for *ESEAP Summit 2025*. Various Filipino Wikimedia
communities and volunteers convened and agreed to work together to make
this event happen.
As part of our planning, we are conducting a *community engagement survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScOyL9CUvYPWwqbTtEpD99GIwb5Z5QQbkV…>*
for *ESEAP Summit 2025. *We would like to request your support and respond
to this survey. Do share it also to your community on or before *11:45 pM
UTC+8:00, 31 August 2024* <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1725119100>.
We encourage everyone to consider participating in this survey and share
your view, whether you are joining in the Summit or not. If you know people
in your communities that are interested in this, please also help invite
them to fill out this survey.
The aim of the survey is to ensure everyone in the region has a chance to
share their perspectives regarding the expectations of ESEAP Summit 2025.
This will serve as guidance in organising the Summit.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
