[Wikisource-l] Re: Reviving the Wikisource Project Conference - Seeking Volunteers!

[Satdeep Gill]

Hi NANöR and everyone,

Thank you so much for starting this thread and restarting the conversation
about a second Wikisource Conference, the first one being in 2015.

I would also like to offer my support to the Organizing Team for this
conference. I have past experience of supporting conferences like
WikiConference India 2016, in my volunteer capacity, and I was a part of
the Organizing Team which intended to organize the second Wikisource
Conference in 2020
,
as a WMF staff member.

Thinking about the dates and venue, I believe we shall look at the upcoming
the Conference Grants rounds
. The* first round *has
a submission deadline of *September 4, 2023* and event dates between *January
to June 2024* while the *second round* has a deadline of *February 4, 2024*
and event dates between *July to December 2024*. It might be better to
think about venues after thinking about possible dates based on the
collective capacities of the people involved.

I am happy to provide support in any way that the Organizing Team deems
appropriate. Looking forward to engaging in further conversations about the
same.

Regards
Satdeep

Hello,

Thanks for taking this up.

May I propose India as a location for this conference? India has Wikisource
in so many languages and so many others waiting to be. Many volunteers from
India would be happy to support and make this event a success.

 Dear Wikisourcians,

 I hope this email finds you well. I'm reaching out to you as members of
 the Wikisource Community user group to discuss an exciting opportunity. As
 you may remember, the group was preparing for a conference dedicated to
 Wikisource in 2020. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
 conference was postponed indefinitely.

 However, we think it's time to revive this idea and bring the
 Wikisource Project conference to life. We are keen to bring together
 like-minded individuals who are passionate about Wikisource resources and
 interested in shaping the future of the project. We envision this
 conference as a comprehensive platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration
 and innovation.

 To make this ambitious undertaking a reality, we need a dedicated core
 organizing team that will lead the planning and execution of the
 conference. I am reaching out to you today to invite you to volunteer for
 this important mission. We value your unique insights, experiences and
 expertise, and believe that your participation will contribute greatly to
 the success of this event.

 If you are interested in joining the core team, please let me know by
 replying to this email.

 Thank you for your time and dedication.

 Best,
 NANöR
