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.

Presenters that are not accepted are also welcome to submit lightning talks and posters, which will be considered as space permits. If there are multiple similar submissions on the same topic, the program committee may suggest combining these submissions.
