Re: [Wikidata] Register for FORCE2018 by this Friday and save $100

[fn]

I am a bit late on this, but FORCE2018 has two Wikidata people speaking 
(as Violeta's link shows): Dario Taraborelli and Daniel Mietchen, see 
also Scholia's profile: https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/event/Q56579271


I have never attended the conference, but I suppose it is most relevant 
to people in research and research supporting roles such as research 
librarians, - like WikiCite people.

In that case, the conference includes open data in its topic, and
some members of the Wikicite group have been there in the past,
that's why we thought it would be interesting for the Wikidata
community.

However, we don't tolerate spam, multiple-reminders for the same

[Jérémie Roquet]

Hi Violeta,

Thanks for the information and sorry for my previous email which
wasn't very sensitive.

May I suggest that in the future, you send the program in the very
first email? There's definitely a chance I get interested in an event
if the program looks great, and I assume that's true for some other
people on that list too. On the contrary, discounts right from the
mail subject and links to click are 100% certain to raise eyebrows.
I've re-read the initial email in that thread, and I'd for sure have
the same initial reaction I've had the first time I've read it,
because it says absolutely nothing about Wikidata and its content is
very abstract.

Léa, thanks a lot for the explanations and the upstream work to filter
incoming emails. That might be too early to discuss this topic given
the low volume of such threads, but maybe at some point should we have
different mailing lists for events and for Wikidata itself. I'm
personally very interested in reading your weekly summaries and
in-depth discussions about Wikidata, but I'm not interested at all in
conferences and I've already had to unsubscribe from a bunch of
mailing lists (including wiki-research-l) only because of the volume
of call for papers and other registration deadlines.

Thanks and best regards,

--

Hello all,

Lydia and I, as moderators of this list, are filtering the announcements
about conferences, keeping only the ones that have a link to Wikidata or
could interest the broad community. The criteria of having to pay for the
conference or not is not taken in account.
In that case, the conference includes open data in its topic, and some
members of the Wikicite group have been there in the past, that's why we
thought it would be interesting for the Wikidata community.

However, we don't tolerate spam, multiple-reminders for the same event, and
we try to reduce the noise as much as possible for the ~1200 subscribers of
this mailing-list.

Thanks for your understanding,
Léa

*** Cross posted to multiple lists ***


FORCE2018 is coming to Montreal.


Are you a researcher or a librarian? You might be a publisher, or a funder
of research.


Whatever your position, you have an important role to ensure research is
easily found and shared so that everyone can benefit from the latest
results.


The FORCE meeting – this October – is a place where communities come
together.


Register now 

*Save $100US if you register by August 31*



What is FORCE2018?


FORCE2018 is a different conference. It promotes open discussions on an
open future for scholarly communications. It looks beyond the publication
to the needs of all involved in the research enterprise, including the
producers and the users of research.


The wide variety of this year’s talks cover many themes, including



   -

   Open Data, Open Source and Open Scholarship
   -

   Research classification and interdisciplinary research
   -

   New ways to share research results
   -

   Reproducibility
   -

   Community outreach and impact


Sometimes controversial. Often different. Always inspiring.



Why Montreal?


There’s a reason why Montreal is a magnet for students and investors. With
11 universities and a vibrant tech sector, the academic-business connection
is strong and thriving. Artificial intelligence, high tech, gaming,
neuroscience, data-hosting and shared services are just some of the
businesses that have made a home in the largest French-speaking city
outside France. (French is one of Canada’s two official languages and
Montreal is almost fully bilingual). Montreal is also making its mark on
the open science scene. Open science followers will be familiar with
the Tanenbaum
Open Science Institute of the Montreal Neurological Institute
, the pan-Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform
, Erudit , MNI Open Research
, and other leading-edge efforts for open science.


Montreal is a great city. Make sure and take time to explore it.


Join us to learn more

Register now 



Why else should you attend?


What makes the FORCE2018 conference special, and unmissable, is the
opportunity to connect and collaborate with committed people from across
sectors. We may approach things from different perspectives, but we all
care about research.


We all want to realise the benefits of enhanced access to the world’s
knowledge.


So, please join us for three days in fabulous Montreal, Canada and engage
in great conversation.


The FORCE2018 Conference will be held in Montreal, Canada on October 11 &
12, 2018 at the New Residence Conference Center at McGill University.
Pre-conference workshops held on October 10 at Concordia University's
Webster Library. You can check out the full schedule here
.


Register now 


Thanks! We'll look forward to seeing you there.

Joanne Clark, Ludmer Centre - McGill University

Jean-Claude Guédon, Université de Montréal
