Dear all, This email is to share two things.
First, Wikimania is NOW! There is an excellent line-up of public policy related sessions. I've listed them all for you in this blog post <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/07/20/understand-the-forces-shaping-free-knowledge-wikimania-2026-public-policy-advocacy-sessions-to-join/> [1]. These sessions are either run by members of various public policy teams across the open knowledge movement, or provide very useful context about an issue that is a priority area for us (think AI, online safety). Will you be there? Pop it in our Signal chat if so! Multiple members of the WMF Global Advocacy team will be in attendance: - Stan Adams: All things USA policy, online safety, licensing and standards. - Costanza Sciubba Caniglia: Information integrity, elections, and UN or major international internet governance discussions. - Me! Second, Ziski (me) is back in office - if I owe you a response via email, please don't hesitate to let me know. It also means I'm going to start reviving this mailing list and sharing updates about internet governance conferences, funding opportunities, partnership ideas, alerts about cool things some of you are doing, the usual, See some of you in Paris, and others on the web, Ziski __ [1] https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/07/20/understand-the-forces-shaping-free-knowledge-wikimania-2026-public-policy-advocacy-sessions-to-join/ Franziska Putz (she/her) Senior Movement Advocacy Manager Global Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation [email protected] UTC Timezone
