Re: [Wikidata] [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2018 Call for Submissions

[Info WorldUniversity]

Hi Lea, Lydia and All,

I just posted a call for volunteers to facilitate this creation of an
online wiki South Africa University for free CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees'
workshop, (since I won't be able to make this due to a lack of finances):

Online wiki universities in South Africa and ... for free online best STEM
CC-4 OpenCourseWare degrees[edit

]

Seeking volunteers in South Africa to facilitate a workshop at Wikimania
about developing online wiki universities in South Africa and in each of
all African countries for free online best STEM CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare
degree in official/main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and
learning in each of all Africa's languages. This would occur via South
Africa World University and School here -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/South_Africa (and other
African countries accessible from here -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States). Languages
are/will be accessible from here -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - in each of all
African languages. World Univ. and Sch. - worlduniversityandschool.org -
donated itself to Wikidata/Wikibase in 2015 for co-development, and got a
new WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki last year in these regards too. (I won't be
able to attend due to lack of finances). Multiple creative educational wiki
opportunities involved with this project. WUaS is planning to offer online
MIT OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, International
Baccalaureate high school, and online Medical degrees, with online teaching
hospitals for clinical care - again with Wikidata/Wikibase structured
knowledge database - and in each of all African countries' official main
languages. “Bridging knowledge gaps, the *ubuntu* way forward.” If someone
would like to submit a workshop proposal please let me know at
i...@worlduniversityandschool.org, and I'll help co-develop this remotely.
Thanks. --Scott WorldUnivAndSch

[Léa Lacroix]

Hello all,

This is a friendly reminder, you have a bit more than two weeks to think
about submissions for Wikimania :)

Note: the submission system this year is not public. You won't be able to
see other's proposals. Therefore, I encourage you to discuss about your
ideas related to Wikidata on this page
, see what is
already proposed, and add your own proposal on this page as well.

Cheers,
