Dear digital rights and free knowledge supporters, I'm delighted to share that Wikimedians will once again be showing up in style at RightsCon, including many on this list like Eric Luth, Anna Torres, Patricia Díaz Rubio, Douglas Scott, Valentina Vera-Quiroz, Amalia Toledo, and more.
This RightsCon will be the first hybrid version of the event, taking place both online and in-person in San José, Costa Rica, from 5–8 June 2023. Online participation is free and you can still register. You can read about the sessions in this Diff blog post [1] and also register for free to watch some of them online [2]. Wikimedians' sessions will illustrate how vital the work of the movement is not only to developing online technology and spaces that enable access and participation in free knowledge, but also to using these to achieve sociotechnical goals—whether helping a country remember and prevent a violent history, learning about labor issues from the perspectives of Black and Indigenous peoples, or uplifting decentralized technologies as tools to carve out civic spaces online. We hope to see you there!
