Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We at the Core Organizing Team would like to see a program submission related to Wikisource.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on digitization and Wikisource are topics we like to see this year. We love to see workshops, panels or lectures that entice interest on digitization and contributing content to Wikisource. Onsite activities include like scanning public domain documents, literature and many others. There is also a
spacious Wikimania Expo space where these activities can be done. I personally have a book scanner on standby for use. You may also suggest a group activity to visit the National Archives of Singapore.
For participants joining virtually, we also have allocated online hours for you too to allow you to participate & present.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March, 2023.
