Hello all,
On behalf of the Celtic Knot Conference organization team, I’m happy to share some exciting news about the online event, taking place in less than one month!
☘ You can now register for the online conference
The registration form is now available and will remain open until and during the conference, taking place online on July 1-2. Attendance is free of charge and doesn’t include the satellite events that may be organized by individuals or groups before or after the main program.
Please note that registration is necessary to attend most of the sessions of the conference, especially the 4 workshops that we offer during the event.
For each workshop, you have two options:
Sign up as an active participant: you will be able to enable your microphone and camera, share your screen, interact directly with the speakers, and your participation will appear in the livestream for all participants (limited spots available) ;
Join as a watcher: your sound and image don’t appear on the recording, and you can interact with others via the chat.
☘ A first glimpse of the program
On the program page, you can now see what the structure of the online event will look like: a light program with one track and a lot of time to take breaks and watch the asynchronous content of the conference.
We selected a few important topics out of the requests expressed in the community survey, and we are currently working with experienced community leaders to offer four workshops that will allow participants to upgrade their skills and help their project grow:
Community growth
Organize or join an editing campaign
Databox, the simple Wikidata-powered infobox
Translate Wikidata properties in your languages
If you’re interested in one or several of these workshops, don’t forget to register!
As previously communicated, the collaborative part of the program takes the shape of the “News from the Language Communities” session, where various groups will present what they have been working on over the past year. More information about these presentations will be added on the program page in the next few weeks.
☘ Connect with participants
When you fill in the registration form, no data will be shared publicly ; if you want to let other people know that you will attend the event, feel free to add your name on the participants list.
To start connecting with other attendees ahead of the conference, you can also join our social channels.
We’re looking forward to seeing you soon at the Celtic Knot! If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me, Daria Cybulska or Richard Nevell.
For the organizing team,
