[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Movimento Brasil will support the WikidataCon 2021

[Léa Lacroix]

Hello all,

As previously announced, the WikidataCon 2021
 will take place
in October next year, in a distributed hybrid format: most of the contents
will be spread online, while user groups may be able to organize local
events, depending on the situation in their region.

We’re very happy to announce that after discussing with several
organizations who were particularly involved with Wikidata events in the
past, we partnered up with Wiki Movimento Brasil to support the
organization of the conference.

You may already have heard of the awesome series of events Wikidata Labs
 organized by Wiki
Movimento Brasil
. They are
also involved in several other Wikidata-related projects, building
partnerships with GLAM organizations and supporting the community in
Brazil. By working together, we will ensure that the program includes a
great diversity of speakers and we will prepare a physical event to gather
the Wikidata community in Brazil.

The selection process for the partner location included a pre-selection of
several organizations in countries outside of Europe and North America, and
took in account several criteria, focussing on the past experiences in
organizing events, the reliability and sustainability of the group, as well
as various practical considerations. Part of the WikidataCon budget
provided by Wikimedia Germany will be used to support events in Brazil and
including participants from this country. If you’re interested in knowing
more about the process, feel free to contact me, I’ll gladly give more
details.

Of course, the participation of other chapters, user groups and local
Wikidata communities is still very welcome: in the next few months, I’ll
share more information about how local groups can be involved in running
side events or participate in the program design.


Frequent updates about the conference and further announcements will take
place on wiki .
The talk page is the best place to ask questions and discuss about the
organization of the conference.

You can also contact me at any time if you have questions or suggestions
about the WikidataCon 2021.

We’re very excited to work hand in hand with Wiki Movimento Brasil and to
experiment with the new hybrid format of the conference together!

Thanks for your attention,
