It's been a while since the last official WikiCite update but I am thrilled to announce that we have dates confirmed for *WikiCite 2017 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2017*.
*WikiCite 2017* is a 3-day conference, summit and hack day hosted in *Vienna* on *May 23-25, 2017* (back to back with the Wikimedia Hackathon https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017).
It expands efforts https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/Newsletter that started last year in Berlin with WikiCite 2016 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016 towards the creation of a bibliographic repository to serve open knowledge.
WikiCite 2017 will be a venue to:
1. present on progress of existing and new initiatives around citations and bibliographic data across Wikimedia projects (day 1: conference) 2. discuss technical, social, outreach and policy directions (day 2: summit) 3. get together to hack on new ideas and applications (day 3: hack day)
For a summary of what was accomplished last year, you can read our report https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016/Report.
Additional details on the event, the application process for prospective participants, travel support requests, and information about the venue will be posted shortly on Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2017 and via the mailing lists, but we wanted to share the dates as early as possible so you can save them in your calendar.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Hey Dario,
great to see you're working on this! It's a very important and key topic to our movement, and deserves the dedicated attention. Especially interested in the policy discussions!
Best, Lodewijk
