Hello everyone, I'm excited to invite you to the 31st edition of the DCW Conversation Hour, featuring John Cummings, a Wikimedian in Residence and passionate advocate for open knowledge. John has worked with some of the world’s leading institutions, including UNESCO and multiple UN agencies, where he helped make vast amounts of knowledge freely available on Wikimedia platforms. In this session, we'll explore the scope, impact, and challenges of the WiR role as well as how it empowers both Wikimedia communities and institutions to collaborate for the public good.
As the Wikimedia movement thrives on collaboration—not just among volunteers, but with institutions that hold vast repositories of knowledge. One powerful bridge between these institutions and the Wikimedia ecosystem is the Wikimedian-in-Residence (WiR). The conversation hour is scheduled for Sunday, 27 July 2025, at 14:30 UTC (8:00 p.m. IST). We have integrated registration directly into the event page; the link is provided below. https://dcwwiki.org/dc-nx I'm excited to see you participate. Please bring along your questions! Kind regards, Ariba Deoband Community Wikimedia
