Hello all, This is a friendly reminder, you have a bit more than two weeks to think about submissions for Wikimania :)
Note: the submission system this year is not public. You won't be able to see other's proposals. Therefore, I encourage you to discuss about your ideas related to Wikidata on this page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018>, see what is already proposed, and add your own proposal on this page as well.
