If there is more people interested it would be good to have a point of coordination e.g. in Meta. http://okcon.org/call-for-proposals/ Anybody can submit a talk but if we are interested in a workshop or a satellite event, that would require coordination and probably contacts. There are many possible topics, but there is one areas where I believe a workshop or more would be very useful: Wikidata, MediaWiki and your data This is the main conference of the open data folks. Wikimedia could be a common pool to share, combine and showcase all that data, in pure state as well as integrated with other types of content. MediaWiki could be a tool used by those projects to maintain their data and communities at the same time. Everything connected. We are not there, but we are heading to that direction. Do the open data community know? They should! Do they even know what MediaWiki (including the Semantic extension) and Wikidata has to offer today? They should! It would be great to know the opinion of the Wikidata team and the European chapters. Needless to say, there would be also people at the Wikimedia Foundation interested in this event. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
