Hi Kelson, Thank you for the update and for taking the time to submit your proposal.
I think your decision to place this under the Technology track as a Workshop is a great strategic choice. Given the outline you provided—specifically the hands-on scenarios and collaboration aspects—a workshop format will likely be much more engaging for attendees than a standard lecture. It bridges the gap between the technical tool and the educational application perfectly. Also, congratulations on Kiwix turning 20 next year! It would be wonderful to mark that milestone in Kaohsiung. Just a gentle reminder that, as per our standard procedure, all Call for Proposals (CFP) submissions will undergo a review process by the program committee to ensure a balanced conference schedule. You can view the full timeline and review details here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ESEAP_Conference_2026/Program/Submissions We appreciate your commitment to bridging the gap in the ESEAP region. As for others, you are more than welcome to submit your proposals. This is a great moment for ESEAP to collaborate with the community members and stakeholders in the Offline Wiki.
