== Apelul la Participare == Wikimania este un eveniment anual global devotat proiectelor Wikimedia de pe glob (incluzând Wikipedia, Wikimanuale, Wikisource, Wikiştiri, Wikţionar, Wikiversitate, Wikicitat, Wikispecii, şi Wikimedia Commons). Conferinţa este o adunare a comunităţii, dând editorilor şi utilizatorilor ai proiectelor Wikimedia o oportunitate de a se întâlni unii pe alţii, schimburi de idei, raport despre cercetare şi proiecte, şi vor colabora la viitorul proiectelor. Conferinţa este deschisă publicului, şi este o şansă pentru educatori, cercetători, programatori şi activişti ai liberei culturi care sunt interesaţi în proiectele Wikimedia să înveţe mai multe şi să împărtăşească idei despre proiectele Wikimedia.
În acest an conferinţa se va ţine între 26 - 28 August în Buenos Aires, Argentina la Centrul Cultural San Martín (vezi Wikipedia şi site-ul oficial).

=== Teme şi urmări === [[Image:Wikimedia logo family.svg|thumb|right|200px|Proiectele Fundaţiei Wikimedia]] There are two tracks for submission: the '''Casual Track''', for members of wiki communities and interested observers to share their own experiences and thoughts and to present new ideas; and the '''Academic Track''', for research based on the methods of scientific studies exploring the social, content or technical aspects of Wikipedia, the other Wikimedia projects, or other massively collaborative works, as well as open and free content creation and community dynamics more generally.
Submissions to either track should address one or more of the following themes:
* '''"Wikimedia Communities,"''' including the topics of conflict resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity; multi-lingualism and languages and cultures. * '''"Free Knowledge,"''' including open access to information; ways to gather and distribute free knowledge, use of the Wikimedia projects in education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality and usability. * '''"Latin American challenges,"''' centering on efforts and limitations for expanding the reach of Wikimedia projects in Latin America; promotion of projects in Native American languages; specific problems of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Wikimedia communities. * '''"Technical infrastructure,"''' including issues related to MediaWiki development and extensions; Wikimedia's technical infrastructure; and new ideas for development.
Papers should be of interest to members of the Wikimedia communities, and fit within one of the themes above.
=== Types of Submissions ===
We are seeking submissions for:
* '''Presentations''' (10-30 minute talks with discussion afterwards) :* This type of submission is appropriate for presenting substantial research or community projects * '''Workshops''' (60-120 minute session with a discussion leader and more audience involvement) :* This type of submission is appropriate for sessions designed to teach a specific subject or explore it in depth * '''Panels''' (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss aspects of a topic with audience questions, 45-90 minute sessions) :* This type of submission is appropriate for discussions on a topic of wide interest among community members, with several participants who may be presenting their work. For less formal discussions of limited interest, consider an open space discussion instead. * '''Open space discussions''' (informal discussion on a specific topic; the discussion leader helps moderate the conversation but the session is open to anyone interested to join in) :* This type of submission is good for a topic that several participants want to discuss or brainstorm about in an informal setting * '''Posters''' (printed visual displays that can stand on their own, with no associated presentation) :* This type of submission is good for presenting research in progress, or smaller community projects * '''Artistic works''' (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations, displays or other representations of some aspect of the projects) :* This type of submission is good for showing creativity or showcasing beautiful work about the projects.
In addition there will be the chance to give lightning talks, which are 5-minute short presentations. Lightning talk sessions will be organized on the Wikimania 2009 wiki shortly before the conference begins, without any need to submit them via the submission system. These talks are best for those who want to quickly present an idea or project without giving a formal presentation. These are informal talks that are open to everyone to participate in.
