Wikimania 2017 a Montreal sarà la tredicesima conferenza internazionale, nata per offrire un'occasione unica alla comunità di Wikimedia e ai nostri progetti di incontrarsi, condividere obiettivi comuni, sviluppare migliori modalità di collaborazione a livello internazionale.

Sia che tu sia membro di una comunità dei progetti Wikimedia (come Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikidata, Wikisource, Wikinotizie, Wikimedia Commons, Wikizionario, Wikivoyage, Wikiversità, MediaWiki o altri), o che tu sia un collega creatore di contenuti aperti o che tu ne sia un consumatore, ti invitiamo a presentare una proposta di sessione per Wikimania 2017.

Wikimania Consisterà di una preconferenza il 9-10 di agosto, la quale includerà un hackathon tecnico e altre workshop ed eventi comunitari. La conferenza principale si terrà dall'11 al 13 agosto e consisterà di parecchi filoni in contemporanea, comprendenti workshop, presentazioni, tavole rotonde, oratori invitati e una unconference. Questa è una convocazione di presentazioni per la conferenza principale; l'hackathon e altri eventi saranno organizzati separatamente.

Se desideri proporre un oratore (incluso te stesso) per la Presentazione Principale e "Invited tracks", puoi farlo contattando il personale o la Commissione di Programma. Terremo in particolare considerazione amici o leader del movimento per la Libera Conoscenza che possano presentare una nuova prospettiva sui nostri progetti e le loro comunità.

Temi

Le presentazioni di Wikimania riguardano argomenti connessi al lavoro dei Wikimediani e ai progetti Wikimedia, inclusa la tecnologia e l'infrastruttura, la pubblicizzazione e l'educazione, aspetti legali e sociali, comunità di progetto e sviluppo delle comunità, e contenuti di progetto. Le candidature possono riguardare progetti e iniziative in corso o nuove, progetti correlati fuori da Wikimedia, e ricerche connesse ai progetti Wikimedia. Presentazioni, workshop e discussioni possono essere indirizzate a qualunque uditorio, siano essi contributori esperti Wikimedia, contributori Wikimedia principianti o contributori Wikimedia che vogliano apprendere nuove competenze o cominciare a lavorare in una nuova area.

Ci sono particolarmente benvenuti nuovi presentatori per Wikimania, presentazioni riguardanti problemi di attuale interesse per la comunità Wikimedia, rapporti dai progetti fratelli Wikimedia e discussioni sull'operato attuale e sul futuro di tali progetti, e tavole rotonde/conversazioni di appassionati per discutere e risolvere problemi relativi ai progetti e alla comunità Wikimedia.

Si tratterà di una conferenza bilingue, e presentazioni sia in francese che in inglese saranno benvenute. Per aiutare la revisione, se possibile è gradita, ma non obbligatoria, l'inclusione di un abstract in inglese per le candidature in francese e viceversa.

In tutte le presentazioni e discussioni è incoraggiata la massima interattività per facilitare l'apprendimento e la condivisione tra i partecipanti.
