La WikiConferencia Norteamérica 2021 se llevará acabo del 8 al 10 de octubre en línea.
El tema de este año es global y local e invitamos a que se presenten propuestas que exploren cómo extender las plataformas Wikimedia a preocupaciones tanto globales como locales, y soluciones en ese espacio. Fomentaremos una variedad de formatos en sesiones de transmisión, de grupo grande y de grupo pequeño durante tres días seguidos.
We also have several focus areas listed to the right. While the theme and these focus areas will be particular topics the conference will revolve around, we welcome all submissions that are relevant to the Wikimedia movement - do not feel confined to the conference theme or focus areas if you have something great to share!
We are having a soft launch for the Academic Submissions in June 2021. We encourage those academics who wish to make use of the Academic Peer Review Option to do so sooner if they wish, to be able to work within tight academic timelines. There will be a renewed launch for submissions from the general public in August 2021, although anyone is welcome to make a submission at any time.
If you're interested in giving a lightning talk or creating an unconference session, feel free to place ideas on the Unconference page.

Nota: Primero debe crear una cuenta.
Proceso de revisión de propuestas
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!

2021 Theme: Global & Local This year, WikiConference North America's theme is the global and local -- globalization and localization -- of information. How can we help people engage, learn, and edit global information sources? Submissions can be classified as academic-track, lightning-talk, panel, training, perhaps duration (long, short, or other time choices); and by topic: Tech, Safety, Editing, Academic, etc. Some examples of topics that would fit fell in this track include:

These focus areas are topics that the community has expressed interest in, but they don't cover everything! Don't worry if your proposal does not exactly fit in one of the other categories; you are welcome to submit proposals on any relevant topic. |
