Dear all,
I hope you are fine and healthy amid the difficult times.
After the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2020 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2020 was cancelled and postponed for 2021 due the COVID-19 pandemic, we came up with the idea of organising an online conference in order to keep continuity and discuss the major ongoings in the Wikimedia movement. The online event is planned to take place as the Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2020 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Online_Meeting_2020 from 2-4 October and it will be labelled with the slogan "Stay Stronger Online!".
The programme for the event will be modest compared to the in-person conferences because of the technical difficulties and the different participants' environment. About a half of the time slots will be reserved for sessions on pre-selected topics covering major ongoings in the movement, while the other half will be filled with session proposals received through a call for submissions with three tracks in the submission process: COVID-19, Basic capacity development and Advanced capacity development. *The deadline for submitting session proposals https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Online_Meeting_2020/Submissions is 23:59 (CEST) on 31 August 2020.*
Considering that this is planned to be an online event, we decided to *extend the eligibility for participation beyond the CEE communities and allow every interested individual contributor from the Wikimedia movement to take part (see list of interested participants https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Online_Meeting_2020/Participants/List)*. That said, we hope that this online event will be enriched and diversified with the participation of people outside the CEE region.
Stay safe and healthy!
Best regards, Kiril Simeonovski
Hi Kiril,
Thank you for making this possible. I know it's not easy to adapt to our new reality and it's challenging and bold to organize an online event like this. I'm definitely thinking about good examples of our work during the pandemic and probably will submit that.
I've also forwarded this call via Discord and our mailing list. I encourage others to do that as well.

Congratulations and good luck for organising the remote event :)
We are collecting documentation about past online events in the Wikimedia movement on this page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_remote_event_participation/Documentation, I hope that the experience from previous organizers can be helpful, and of course I'll be glad to see more event organizers gathering documentation there.
Cheers, Léa
