Temat: [Wikiquality-l] Fwd: Wikimania 2008 - Call for participation
== Call for Participation ==
Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikimedia projects
around the globe (including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews,
Wiktionary, Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wikispecies, and Wikimedia Commons)
and for its editors and users to gather, meet each other, exchange
ideas, and report on research and projects. It is a community event,
which is also open to the public and to researchers. This year's
conference will be held from '''July 17-19, 2008''' in
Alexandria,
Egypt at the new Library of Alexandria (Bibliotheca Alexandrina).
For more information, please visit the Wikimania 2008 Home page at

We are accepting submissions for presentations, workshops, panels,
posters, open spaces, and artistic artifacts. Please carefully follow
the submission guidelines below. Submissions can be sent via the
following link:
:https://wikimedia.pentabarf.org/submission/wikimania2008
=== Important dates ===
* 1 February – 16 March : Submission
* 17 March – 30 April : Review, feedback and notification of acceptance
* 17 – 19 July 2008 : '''Wikimania'''
=== Conference Tracks ===
Submissions should address one or more of the following themes:
; Wikimedia Communities : Interesting projects and particularities
within the communities; policy creation within individual projects;
conflict resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity;
multi-lingualism, languages and cultures; social studies. We explicitly
invite you to discuss your local Wikimedia project's community.
; Free Knowledge : Open access to information; ways to gather and
distribute free knowledge, usage of the Wikimedia projects in
education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality and
usability; copyright laws and other legal areas that interfere with
Wikimedia projects. Free Content in the Middle-East/Africa.
; Technical infrastructure : Issues related to MediaWiki development and
extensions; Wikimedia's technical infrastructure; new ideas for
development (including case studies from other wikis or similar
projects).
; Scientific track : Academic papers about massively collaborative work,
open and free content creation, community dynamics, the social or
economic aspects of the Wikimedia projects, and other topics related to
Wikimedia projects. Papers submitted to the scientific track will be
peer reviewed by a reviewing committee regarding their novelty, rigour,
and estimated impact, and accepted or rejected based on these reviews.
The papers will be published in proceedings afterwards, and depending
on the number and the quality of the submissions, a journal special
issue may be pursued. Scientific track papers must be in English, and
must not exceed 7,500 words (or 15 pages LNCS).
Your topic must be related either to the Wikimedia projects and their
communities, or to the creation of free content in general.
=== Types of Submissions ===
We are seeking submissions for
* presentations (10–30 minute talks with discussion afterwards)
* workshops/open discussions (60–120 minute session with a discussion
leader and more involvement of the audience)
* panels (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss on a specific subject)
* posters (printed presentations or visual displays that can stand on
their own)
* artistic artifacts (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations, or
other representations of some aspect of the projects)
In addition there will the possibility to give [[lightning talks]] (5
minute short presentations). These will be organized on the Wikimania
2008 wiki without need to submit via the submission system.
=== Submission Guidelines ===
Wikimania is organized by volunteers, so please help us minimize wasted
effort by submitting via the submission system and following these
guidelines. All submissions MUST explicitly include the following:
# an English "Event title"
# a short English "Abstract" of your event in 50 to 100 words. The
abstract will be used for the public schedule.
# the "Track" your submission fits in best (Wikimedia Communities, Free
Knowledge, Technical infrastructure, or Scientific)
# the "Event type" (presentation, workshop, panel, poster, artistic...)
# information about the speaker (full name, email, a short description
of at least 2 sentences...)
# for submissions to the scientific track: set "Submission of paper for
proceedings" to "yes" and upload a paper instead of the
"Description"
below as "Attachment". Papers must be in English, and must not exceed
7,500 words.
In addition you can add some more information like a a subtitle of the
event, an image (will be resized to 128x128px) and private "Submission
notes" for reviewers and conference organisation. In particular you
should give:
* a more detailed "Description" of your event in English or Arabic. The
description is essential for review: please give an overview of the
areas to be covered or taught. The better you describe your submission,
the more likely it will get accepted. State clearly the relevance to
the Wikimedia projects and whether submission concerns a specific wiki
project. You can also include links. The description will later be used
for the public schedule but you can edit it before.
* special requirements (such as equipment for a workshop or panel) if
needed
* the language used for presentation
* whether you want to submit a paper for proceedings
* whether you want to submit presentation slides
* whether the presentation is intended to be a specific length
* the target audience you are going to reach and what previous
knowledge is needed
* images or sketches of the poster or artistic artifact if available
* for panel submissions a suggested moderator and short biographies of
each suggested panelist
In the "Submission notes" you should tell us whether you will attend to
Wikimania (a) surely, (b) probably, (c) only if your submission is
accepted, or (d) only if we provide travel and/or accommodation. You
can also add yourself to the public list of attendees at the Wikimania
