Dear Wikispecies Community,
Wikimania 2025 is just around the corner, and we are thrilled to invite you to contribute your expertise to this global gathering of knowledge-sharing enthusiasts! This year's conference theme, "Wikimania at 20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability," resonates deeply with the mission of Wikispecies to create a comprehensive and accessible directory of all living species.
We encourage you to submit program proposals that explore topics highly relevant to the theme. Here are some ideas on research track that may inspire you:
● Sessions on fostering collaboration across global communities to expand the species catalog.
● Case studies showcasing how Wikispecies data has supported scientific research or conservation initiatives.
● Strategies to maintain and grow the Wikispecies project for future generations.
Proposals can be presented in various formats:
● Remote presentations from the comfort of your home or workplace.
● Pre-recorded sessions to share at the conference.
● Onsite presentations in Nairobi, Kenya.
Submit your proposal by March 31, 2025 through the program submission site https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program .
Additionally, if you have suggestions, comments, or specific requests, feel free to reach out to our team of dedicated volunteers at wikimania(a)wikimedia.org. They are here to help and ensure your voice is heard.
Together, let's make Wikimania 2025 a transformative event for knowledge, collaboration, and sustainability.
Looking forward to your participation,
Warm regards,
Butch Bustria
