Czym jest Wikimania?

Wikimania to doroczna konferencja poświęcona Wikipedii i jej projektom siostrzanym, w czasie której organizuje się podkonferencje, dyskusje, spotkania, szkolenia i hackathon. Setki edytorów-wolontariuszy spotykają się, aby poznać i omówić projekty, koncepcje i problemy.

Themes of the 2017 conference included the advancement of Free Knowledge, the role of academic and cultural institutions within the movement, privacy and rights, and the role of technology to further those objectives. Wikimania 2017 also featured a deeper look at the role of the Movement within the Francophonie, and a number of program elements focusing on advancement of French within the projects.

Beyond the main event, there were other related events: the hackathon where the technical community around the Wikimedia projects joined together to work and contribute, and multiple preconferences.

Konferencja odbyło się w Centre Sheraton Montréal (i w jego okolicach) w Montréalu w dniach 9–13 sierpnia 2017 roku.
