Dear all,
We are looking for members of the 2017 Wikimania program committee! The committee will help put together the program and schedule for Wikimania Montreal, to be held on 9-13 August 2017: https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/
Committee member responsibilities include helping promote the call for submissions and recruiting speakers, helping design the program and reviewing program submissions. Review dates this year are April 2017 and mid-May through June 2017; program committee members should commit to having availability for reviewing submissions and regular meetings during those times.
If you are a Wikimedian interested in building a great Wikimania, you are welcome to apply! We are especially looking for committee members with experience with (one or more of) sister projects, non-English speaking communities, technical projects, or GLAM and education projects. We are also especially looking for French speakers who can assist in recruiting and reviewing French-language submissions.
Please let us know if you are interested by contacting wikimania-program@lists.wikimedia.org with your name, interest, and availability. We will be forming the committee quickly. More information on the program, including the call for submissions, will be coming soon.
Thank you! Marc-Andre Pelletier (Wikimania chair) Phoebe Ayers (program co-chair) Deror Lin (program co-chair) Guillame Paumier (program co-chair)
