In 2 months from now Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference will be held (in hybrid mode online with offline 'nodes') as trans-local events on 3 days of May: Friday 12th, Sunday 14th and Wednesday 17th - known for International Day Against Homophobia.
Abbreviated as QW2023 the event is following efforts and events in 2020, 2021, 2022 in hope that future will bring more diverse incarnations for queering not only Wikipedia, but also Wikimedia and conference making itself...

Hello Zeljko,
I see that this is the second call for proposals. Are you interested in the Board representation on the conference? For example, a Q and A session?

Yes we are interested, but ideally not quite as loose as just Q&A session. It would be good to know who of the Board members could commit to both dates of conference and would be able to speak in regards to their specific work and responsibilities, rather than to keep it generic as are regular Board online consultation hours. Could we discuss this in an online call next week with Board members who are interested and would have something specific to share?

I am not speaking on behalf of the Board - only the Chair, Nataliia Timkiv, could do it. I am a board member interested in participating in the conference and would be happy to talk about my work and responsibilities.
If you are interested in my participation, let's discuss the times and dates in a one-to-one email.
Kind regards

Next Office Hour of QW2023 is in Spanish (with EN translation) and is slightly later tomorrow to center on Latin America, so please reach out to fellow Wikimedians and LGBTIQ+ activists that might want to have a good overview of all and see how they can contribute and participate!
As always please register! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/QW_Office_Hours#Session_9:_Spanish_language_...
Z. Blace - for QW2023 organizing team
In 10 days on Friday May 12th at noon (UTC) we are going to open the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference with a keynote of Dr. Nishant Shah +6 hours of online program https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/qw2023-1-day-dia/3042 ...then following Sunday 14th and Wednesday 17th same time https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/qw2023-2-day-dia/3043 https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/qw2023-3-day-dia/3044 please consider to check it out, check in *(Wikimedia accounts work) and join us!
UPDATE: In exactly a week from now we will open QW2023 and you can be in first rows if you check program, check in and register now or this weekend... otherwise we can not guarantee your registration will be processed and checked (safety regulations) in time and approved for priority access.
NOTE: We have registration also in SPANISH! We need your help in promotion... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/QW2023
Dear Participants and friends of Queering Wikipedia 2023 Today is day #2 of our 3 day event. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/QW2023/Schedule Aside from our main bi-lingual zoom sessions (to which you can still subscribe from the main page) or just watch over channel https://youtube.com/@QueeringW, we are doing workshops and informal unconference sessions *(to which participants can still contribute and suggest BoF style) both today and Wednesday using FLOSS platforms:
*JITSI* (the main server, Wikimedia's version is a mess) *https://meet.jit.si https://meet.jit.si/* *BBB* (freshly updated instance of feminist friends)
*https://bbb.ConstantVzw.org https://bbb.constantvzw.org/* (+alternative BBB instance via Austria)
Please make sure to have compatible browsers (fresh chrome based seem to work reliably on desktops/mobile) and an account registered on BBB if you present-translate. Also consider leaving extra desktop memory for this, having your slides both as editable GoogleSlides and .PDFs (which are nicer to display in BBB recordings).
We might try to do simultaneous translation in BBB and/or JITSI rather than just successive, but if it fails we revert back to more simple-longer successive. Josh, Andre and I will be around to help, but none of us is fully routine in all aspects of tools.
PLEASE do join our topical Telegram group for QW2023 with topics like: #Tech support and #Queestions for speakers! https://t.me/+6vobNjjR8vg5NjI0
Best Z. Blace
p.s. UnConference updates so far:
@13:00 UTC on BBB //WORKSHOP: LGBT+ and Friendliness - What Do We Need and How Do We Do *(by User:Imcat with Josh Lim support)
@17:00 UTC on JITSI // Questions and Answers: How Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees work? *(Victoria Doronina)
