Dear Community Members, Wikimania 2021 is around the corner, kickstarting with Hackathon this Friday, August 13, and we just can’t wait. We would like to share some reminders and important updates with you.
Registration We are nearing 2500 registrants already! That’s bigger than any in-person Wikimania. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and as such, will be closing registration on Thursday, August 12 @ 23:59 UTC. If you haven’t done so already, please register now <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Registration>. Registering will allow you to receive updates from the organizers, immerse in the virtual platform, and most importantly, interact with other participants and host sessions. Attendee Information And speaking of registering, we hope to share participant information on Monday, including links to Remo <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/08/03/virtual-wikimania-2021-finding-your-way-around/>, our virtual platform space, and other important information to prepare you for Wikimania 2021. Volunteers We are still looking for volunteers <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Volunteer> for various roles. If you are interested, sign up to help. There are different roles and your help is greatly appreciated. Digital Resources As with every Wikimania, and even more so a virtual one, we have awesome digital assets <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Resources> to share with you so you can use and share on yourself. Want to print a t-shirt for you and your friends? Need social media posts or cool backgrounds, we got you covered. Hackathon We will be kickstarting Wikimania 2021 with an all-day Hackathon <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon>! Please make sure to register your session on the Hackathon schedule and join us for a day full of collaborative work around the clock and around the world! Community Village + Unconference After the Hackathon, we have 4 full days of programming starting at different times each day. As with every Wikimania, we will also have a Community Village <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Community_Village>. There are 140 tables available where you can share information for people to see, and you don’t even have to be there. Finally, we will also be hosting an Unconference space where any attendee can host a session and gather with up to 20 other attendees. Reserve your Unconference space now <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference>. Best Wishes, Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ms_Kabintie>), on behalf of the Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.
