Weitere Details unten.

Die WikiKonferenz Nordamerika 2021 findet vom 8.-10. Oktober online statt.

Das diesjährige Thema ist global & lokal und wir bitten um Programmeinreichungen, die untersuchen, wie Wikimedia-Plattformen auf globale und lokale Anliegen und Lösungen in diesem Bereich ausgeweitet werden können. Wir werden an drei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen eine Vielzahl an Formaten von Übertragungen und Sitzungen mit großen und kleinen Gruppen fördern.

Wir haben auch mehrere Fokusbereiche auf der rechten Seite aufgelistet. Während das Motto und diese Fokusbereiche bestimmte Themen sein werden, um die sich die Konferenz drehen wird, begrüßen wir alle Beiträge, die für die Wikimedia-Bewegung relevant sind – fühle dich nicht auf das Konferenzmotto oder die Fokusbereiche beschränkt, wenn du etwas Großartiges zu teilen hast!

Wir haben im Juni 2021 einen soften Start für die akademischen Einreichungen eingeleitet. Wir ermutigen diejenigen Wissenschaftler, die die Option für ein akademisches Peer-Review nutzen möchten, dies früher zu tun, wenn sie innerhalb enger akademischer Fristen arbeiten möchten. Im August 2021 wird es einen neuen Start für Programmeinreichungen aus der Allgemeinheit geben, obwohl jeder jederzeit willkommen ist, eine Programmeinreichung vorzunehmen.

Wenn du daran interessiert bist, einen Kurzvortrag zu halten oder eine Unconference-Sitzung zu erstellen, kannst du gerne Ideen auf der Unconference-Seite platzieren.

Proposal Review Process

Proposals will be reviewed by a Programming Committee. Each submission is rated on a variety of factors including the likely level of impact and expected outcomes; expected community interest; and how well-connect the submission is to the theme or a focus area. Committee scores are averaged, and the top portion of submissions will be accepted as they fit into the schedule.

You will be notified about the Program Committee's decision regarding your submission via email. If your submission is not added to the preliminary schedule, please do not be discouraged. WikiConference North America will have time set aside in the schedule for participants and attendees to participate in self-organized talks and working groups during our lightning talks and unconference sessions.

Academic Peer Review Option

We are seeking presentations addressing topics related to teaching with Wikipedia and/or the intersection between higher education and Wikipedia generally. Presenters have the option of submitting their proposals under Academic Peer Review, which will be evaluated by a subset of academics serving on the Program Committee. This option is entirely voluntary, and is intended primarily for academic-type presenters who require a peer review process for travel support through their home institutions.

Unlike previous years, this year there is no separate scholarship process for academic submitters. Any academic submitters who wish to apply for a scholarship can apply through the normal scholarship process when it opens.

The soft launch for the Academic Submissions is in June 2021, with a renewed launch for submissions from the general public in August 2021, although anyone is welcome to make a submission at any time.

Unconference

In additional to traditional programming, we have set aside time for Unconference sessions. These sessions give time for anyone to propose or spontaneously organize a mini-presentation, discussion, or workshop on a wiki-related topic. We'll have lightning talk sessions will for short (typically 3-5 min) presentations.

Visit our Unconference page to brainstorm ideas.

Proposal Themes

We invite attendees to submit proposals for panels, workshops, seminars, and other presentations in topics that fall under topics related to Wikipedia or free culture.

Our theme this year is global & local, and will be the biggest portion and focus of our program. We also have five other focus areas the community has expressed interest in. Don't worry if your proposal does not exactly fit in one of the below categories; you are welcome to submit proposals on any relevant topic!
