Sad to learn of Deror’s demise! Had the pleasure of interacting with him as
part of the 2021 Wikimania COT. Such a great soul.

May he RIP

 Dear Friends,

 On behalf of the WikiIndaba Steering Committee (WISCom
 ), I
 would like to announce that the next WikiIndaba Conference
  for 2022 will be organised
 by Wikimedia Usergroup Rwanda. The conference will take place between 4
 and 6 November 2022 in a hybrid format where participants will attend
 online and in person in Kigali, Rwanda.

 This comes after an invitation to bid was sent to all African
 affiliates by WISCom early in April, and several good and deserving
 candidates responded. A rigorous selection process then followed which
 considered several factors including candidates’ motivational statements,
 capacity to host the conference,  bringing the conference to a region where
 it has not been held before and if there were national elections planned in
 the applicant's country for this year.


 More details about scholarships and programme will be provided later.

 We look forward to supporting and working with Wikimedia UG Rwanda to
 ensure the conference becomes a success.

 Best regards,

 Bobby Shabangu

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 wrap up – evaluation report + song

[Winnie kabintie]

Dearest Community Members,

The Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021#Organising_team> and Wikimania
Steering Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee>
are excited to share with you the evaluation results of Wikimania 2021.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone – that’s 1700 of you from
across the movement – that helped create the first online Wikimania.
Whether talking about welcoming newcomers, fascinating presentations,
catching up with old friends, or singing and dancing together, you were
essential to the success.

After the event, we asked you to share your thoughts about the first-ever
virtual Wikimania: How accessible and inclusive was Wikimania 2021? What
did you most like about the event? What would you have changed? And how did
the newcomers among us feel? We invite you to read the report
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Evaluation>.

And if you’re feeling nostalgic, you can watch back all of the great video
content
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2021_presentations>,
including the session that brought out the performers in all of us:
the Wikimania
2021 song <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Wikimania_Song>.

The Wikimania Steering Committee will be sharing more information on how to
get involved for 2022 in the coming days, so stay tuned … and get excited!

Best wishes from the 2021 Wikimania COT,

Winnie Kabintie

Dear Wikimania 2021 Attendees,

Thank you for joining us in the first virtual edition of Wikimania, we do

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania - Important Reminders + Request for Volunteers

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

Wikimania 2021 is around the corner, kickstarting with Hackathon this
Friday, August 13, and we just can’t wait. We would like to share some
reminders and important updates with you.

Registration

We are nearing 2500 registrants already! That’s bigger than any in-person
Wikimania. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and as such, will be closing
registration on Thursday, August 12 @ 23:59 UTC. If you haven’t done so
already, please register now
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Registration>. Registering will
allow you to receive updates from the organizers, immerse in the virtual
platform, and most importantly, interact with other participants and host
sessions.

Attendee Information

And speaking of registering, we hope to share participant information on
Monday, including links to Remo
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/08/03/virtual-wikimania-2021-finding-your-way-around/>,
our virtual platform space, and other important information to prepare you
for Wikimania 2021.

Volunteers

We are still looking for volunteers
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Volunteer> for various roles. If
you are interested, sign up to help. There are different roles and your
help is greatly appreciated.

Digital Resources

As with every Wikimania, and even more so a virtual one, we have
awesome digital
assets <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Resources> to share with
you so you can use and share on yourself. Want to print a t-shirt for you
and your friends? Need social media posts or cool backgrounds, we got you
covered.

Hackathon

We will be kickstarting Wikimania 2021 with an all-day Hackathon
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon>! Please make sure to
register your session on the Hackathon schedule and join us for a day full
of collaborative work around the clock and around the world!

Community Village + Unconference

After the Hackathon, we have 4 full days of programming starting at
different times each day. As with every Wikimania, we will also have a
Community
Village <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Community_Village>.
There are 140 tables available where you can share information for people
to see, and you don’t even have to be there. Finally, we will also be
hosting an Unconference space where any attendee can host a session and
gather with up to 20 other attendees. Reserve your Unconference space now
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference>.

Best Wishes,
Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 - Program and Practice Days

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

We are excited to share the program
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Program> for this year’s
Wikimania with you! This was a huge effort as we received an unexpectedly
high number of submissions and as much as possible, we wanted to include
all of them. We created two whole new tracks just for this — in addition to
the original two, the plenary, and the Unconference and on-demand tracks.
We thank you all for your patience and understanding as we bring virtual
Wikimania live.

The program table is a work in progress and over the next few days, we will
edit and build it out with more information.

We will share a series of blog posts tomorrow on Diff
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/tag/wikimania-2021/>with event specifics and
technical solutions for this first-ever virtual edition of Wikimania. All
registered participants will also receive specific guidance by email in the
next few days.

Upcoming Office Hours and Remo Practice Days
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Organizers>: Starting Tuesday,
August 3 at 10 AM UTC, we would also like to invite you to join us at our
upcoming Office Hours and practice days to walk through our event platform
Remo and answer any question you may have around the platform and how to
use it. 5 other opportunities are available to hop on Remo and ask us any
questions. Please check for a time and day that works for you.

Best Wishes,

Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie

Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

[Wikimedia-l] Community Village + Unconference track

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

Wikimania is only two weeks away (Aug. 13-17) and we are very excited to
welcome each of you. The program is shaping up well and we look forward to
sharing that with you very soon. Registration remains open
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Registration>. We surpassed 1800
registrants today! Registering is the best way to enjoy the virtual
experience, to take part in social activities, and to start receiving
information from the organizers.

I would also like to invite movement groups and affiliates to sign up for a
table in the virtual Community Village
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Community_Village> space. You
can learn more about the available resources and times, as well as sign-ups
on the page. Each table will be equipped with a digital Miro
<https://miro.com/> whiteboard where you can share text, images and videos
about your work and community. You do not need people to be at the tables.
There are 140 tables available, so please consider sharing with a neighbor
or region.

The Unconference <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference>
space is also open and you can sign up to host a session there. If we were
not able to include your submission as part of the main programming, you
are more than welcome to host it here. Unconference is a great opportunity
to connect with fellow Wikimedians in a more intimate and casual setting.
You can learn more on the page.

Thank you very much and see you all at Wikimania.

 Best Wishes,
Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ms_Kabintie>), on behalf of the
Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 Scholarship Acceptances & Digital Assets

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,


We are pleased to inform you that the first round of scholarships to
facilitate attendance for this year's virtual Wikimania has been accepted
and the funds are being distributed.


As previously announced, the scholarships for the 2021 Wikimania are only
being channeled through affiliates. This was a complex decision and
something that we will build on for next year. Individuals who are not in a
community with an affiliate but would wish to receive support like data,
mobile top-off, and childcare can request a nearby affiliate for support.


We have so far received 22 Scholarship applications.


We appeal to all affiliates to be supportive of nearby regional communities
that may need help and reach out to the COT should there be need for
further guidance.  Scholarship applications close on 31 July 2021
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021/Scholarships>.(
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021/Scholarships)


Digital Assets

We also invite you to work with this Wikimania’s digital assets, which
include high-resolution graphics and virtual backgrounds. Access the
digital assets HERE
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2021_symbols> and
have fun.



Best Wishes,

Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 Hackathon and Session Acceptances

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

We are pleased to announce that a hackathon
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon> will take place on
the first day of Wikimania (August 13th). During the 24 hours covering all
time zones, we aim to provide a space where the technical community as well
as others interested, including newcomers, can gather. We also aim to
onboard people who would like to get involved in Mediawiki development and
the tools ecosystem.

We see Hackathon as a space for experiments. With an open schedule and a
light, self-organized mindset, the hackathon day is the perfect opportunity
for you to try new projects, formats or to gather people and start working
on a new idea.

To learn more about this year’s hackathon, discover how to start a project,
or book a slot in the program, please visit this page:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon

If you have any questions, feel free to use the related talk page to
contact the organizing team or join the community conversation on Telegram (see
link <https://t.me/wikimaniachat>).

Session Submissions Updates

A first round of acceptances for the session submissions have been sent out
already and respective community members notified via email. In response to
so many great submissions, we have largely expanded the available virtual
space at Wikimania. However, this is quite a complex and time-consuming
task. We thank you for your patience and will continue to communicate the
results over the next few days.

Wikimania 2021 Registration is Open. Please register HERE
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikimania-2021-tickets-161884957265> if you
haven’t done so already.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2021 - Language Approach Update

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

We are once again pleased to share a great update on Wikimania 2021
regarding language support. With the new changes, speakers will not need to
provide an English transcription for their pre-recorded sessions if they
would not be in English as we had communicated in our previously announced
language approach
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/05/21/making-wikimania-2021-inclusive-and-accessible-our-language-and-timezone-approach/>
.

Please Read More about our revised language Approach HERE
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/06/29/wikimania-2021-update-to-our-language-approach/>

We are grateful to everyone that joined our COT office Hours and shared

[Wikimedia-l] Re: "Expression of interest" Movement Charter Drafting Committee

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Ad,

Could you please clarify the following;

Based on your email, does it mean that only candidates who express interest
in being part of the drafting committee before the 2nd round of global
conversations will be up for scrutiny? What about those that will be
fronted by affiliates and WMF?

[Wikimedia-l] Two-Day Submission Deadline Extension

[Winnie kabintie]

Dear Community Members,

We have seen all the efforts going on in various social media platforms as
the community tries to mobilize and fine-tune ideas for their session
proposals for Wikimania 2021
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Submissions> and we are happy to
announce a 2-Day extension to give you some extra hours to conclude your
plans.

The office hours we had last week also opened room for the Wikimania Core
Organizing Team to engage with the community and clarify some programming
questions you had and we thought it would be fair to give room for the
participants to conclude their proposals.

Please be informed that we have extended the deadline to the end of  day Sunday
20th, June (24:00hrs Pacfific Standard Time)!

Also, some amazing news: If you are submitting a pre-recorded session in
another language other than english, you are no longer required to submit a
transcription in english.

Public Submissions

You can also view public submissions here
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Submissions>

Thank you for attending the office hours so far! We look forward to seeing
you at the next one
