In no more than three months they have developed prototypes that offer concrete and scalable solutions to the free knowledge and this year’s challenge of (re)building trust in the digital age, ranging from a crowdsourced directory that will help you find every official governmental online account around the globe, a tool exposing and educating on technology supply chains, to an open toolkit for language archivists on how to create permanent, accessible and inclusive audiovisual archives [2].
You are invited to meet and learn from the teams as they showcase their prototypes on October 6th, 2021 at 4:00 - 5:30pm CEST. Join us online here: wikimedia.de/unlock
What to expect on UNLOCK Demo Day? All eyes on the project teams and the prototypes! The first part will give you the chance to find out what the participants have achieved in the last few months as well as the ups and downs they have faced. There will be room and time for exchange and/or exploring synergies (i.e. maybe the projects are interesting for your communities, other ideas can be discussed for further development or adaption of the projects in your particular context, etc.) We’ll conclude the showcase with a discussion panel "Glimpse into the Future", in which we will discuss with the teams their next steps and exchange ideas.
We would be more than happy to see you at the Demo Day. If you still have open questions regarding the Demo Day, head to our blog post for answers [3] or feel free to contact me. Also, we would appreciate if you could forward this email and the attached invite to your network.
Looking forward to your participation!
