Hi, Everyone!
Mark your calendars! Singapore is calling. Wikimania 2023 will run from
16-19 August.
This year’s theme is *Diversity. Collaboration. Future. *
Diversity. Wikimania will be an opportunity to showcase ESEAP as an example
of inclusion: different volunteer groups, individuals, and affiliates, at
different stages of development, different cultures but closely involved in
an equitable way.
Collaboration. As a distributed growth mechanism, Wikimania will be a way
to learn and share new knowledge like tools usage, organizing events /
online campaigns, solving a Wiki-related problem and many others.
Future. Wikimania is also significant to many Wikimedians as Wikimania 2023
will also be a forum to discuss implementing the Wikimedia Movement
Strategy (#Wikimedia2030) and discuss other future-thinking topics.
The days will look like this:
