This will be the 10th edition of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference!

SMWCon is open to everyone interested in collaborative knowledge creation using semantic wikis.

The event brings together developers, users, and organizations from the Semantic MediaWiki community around the world.

In what is becoming a tradition, we will spend the first day with tutorials and a workshop for those who want to learn more about Semantic MediaWiki and build from it. The second and the third day of the conference will include talks from the developers and users of SMW.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

We have started to form a program of the conference.

Since this is a community driven event, please visit the following wiki page to get news about the program, add your name to the attendees list and register your talk:

It does not have to be formal and/or complete, however, you're welcome to share more information about your talk, like a short abstract, and even desirable length. We are looking for use cases, updates on existing projects, lightning talks, or even demos.

IMPORTANT DATES

February 20 - deadlines to submit proposals of talks (the earlier the better)

March 20 - the conference itself

See you in New York!

Regards,

Laurent Alquier, Program Chair
