Heads up! #Wikimania2024 will be held in #Katowice, #Poland 🇵🇱 from 7 to 10 August 2024! Also, scholarship application deadline is in 7 days on 18 December.
(The host city was originally #Kraków but the organizing team had to switch venues due to unforeseen circumstances.)
Scholarship applications for #Wikimania 2024 are open until December 18! Apply now for a full or partial scholarship to attend Wikimania in person in #Poland!
This year’s theme will be “Collaboration of the Open”--a celebration of the ways we work together, in the open and for the larger open movement, to bring free knowledge to the world.
The Wiki Loves X track on #wikimania this morning was quite inspiring. I feel it is time for a #WikiLovesEarth in the Netherlands in 2024. Who is with me? #wikimedia
The @internetarchive is one of the most enduring partnerships that the Wikimedia movement has and IA's director, @mark, just gave an update of their work here in #Wikimania2023. One thing I learned today (#TIL) is that they also work on adding links to book citations in Wikipedia articles to their collection and not just web references (via the Wayback Machine). 🎉
Last night, I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. PDT (GMT-7) to virtually accept the award of Media Contributor of the Year at #Wikimania Singapore 2023. It was truly an honor! Thanks to the @wikimediafoundation and all Wikimania, #Wikimedia, and @wikipedia volunteers, and congratulations to all of the other winners.
The massive 6-foot-tall cardboard sculpture of the Wikipedia 'W' logo is pretty nifty. And the plenary hall is massive! 😮 I will be presenting here on Thursday and I'm already intimidated. 😱
The Philippine Local Laws and Ordinances Digitization Project sounds pretty great. It's getting local laws into Commons and #Wikisource. #Wikimania#Philippines
