Hello all, Here are some new information about the WikidataCon event <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017>, that will take place in Berlin on October 28th-29th. We just nominated the members of the two committees that will have an important role in the organization of the event. Thank you very much to all the applicants! - Program committee: andrawaag <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Andrawaag>, Spinster <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Spinster>, Masssly <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Masssly> - Scholarship committee: Micru <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Micru>, Venuslui <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Venuslui> For all the other topics, you can freely join *the volunteer groups <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017/Volunteer>*, discuss on the talk page, suggest ideas. I'm also glad to give you an overview of the *next steps for the WikidataCon*: - Scholarship application process: June 8th-July 31st - Call for submissions for the program: June 12th-July 31st - Registration opening: June 19th (two other ticket releases are planned in August and September) - Selection of the scholarships recipients: August - Review of the submissions for the program: August - Announce of the program: September 1st This dates can still evolve, I'll keep you informed. For more information, check Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017>. Last but not least: in order to be able to provide scholarships, and help people who can't afford the travel and accommodation to participate, we requested a grant from the WMF. This grant will be reviewed soon, and you can help by *endorsing the project*. For this, you can add a message at the bottom of the grant submission <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/WMDE/WikidataCon>. This would be very useful for the project!
