Hello all,
You can now submit proposals for the Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2020>. The call for papers is open until March 30th. If you are working on a project involving languages in Wikidata, supporting minority languages or small Wikimedia projects, GLAM collaboration or language technology - the Celtic Knot is the perfect place to present your work and connect with people doing similar things! All details are available on this page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2020>. More information about registration and scholarships will follow. If you have any remaining questions, feel free to reach me.
