Subject: [Wikimediaus-l] WikiConference USA - almost here!
I am very pleased to announce that WikiConference USA is less than 30 days away! Over the
last few months, Wikimedia NYC and Wikimedia DC have been collecting curated submissions
on a diversity of wiki and free/open knowledge-related topics (with tracks on Community,
Tech, Outreach, GLAM, Education), and recruited some excellent keynote speakers who can
speak to their personal activism and leadership in these domains.
But this is a "Wiki" conference, and what it thrives on most is your
participation, your differing areas of experience and expertise, to enliven and enrich all
of the sessions we have planned together. And, exciting too, there still will be numerous
opportunities for "unconference" sessions led by participants on the fly, and we
encourage you to bring the ideas from your domain for these sessions as well.
Here are the details for the conference:
Dates: Friday, May 30, 2014 - Sunday, June 1, 2014
Location: New York Law School (185 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013)
Website:
http://wikiconferenceusa.org
Email: wikicon(a)wikimedianyc.org
Registration:
http://wikiconusa.eventbrite.org/
And our distinguished and dynamic roster of keynote speakers:
*Phoebe Ayers - Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees
*Sumana Harihareswara - Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Team; Advisor, Ada
Initiative
*Christie Koehler - Community Building Education Lead, Mozilla Corporation
*DC Vito, Executive Director - The LAMP/MediaBreaker
For more information, please review our official press release below! We hope you will
join us and help us spread the word!
