Whilst 2020 has benefits, they are not benefits that would enable me to
attend, Cannot get away to 2021. :-( It effectively becomes two weeks
away for me when you take into account travel time, the days held, and
recovery time, and I cannot manage that in 2020 at that time. (and yes
I know that it isn't about me)
Happy to contribute.

This is a great initiative, I'm very happy to learn about it. I think
autumn 2020 would be better – sooner rather than later.
I'd be happy to serve in a committee as well if more people are needed.

Hi all
I confirm that as Wikimedia Poland we are very happy to help you with
the conference and even more happy to see your wonderful community in
Warsaw!
As Claudia mentioned we already had a great conversation with WMAT to
get to know a bit more about their experience and to learn how to
bring the best from Vienna to Warsaw. I'm happy that so many of you
want to engage in the process and I already have a lot of good
feelings about this event.
The most important thing for now is to decide on the date which would
work best for you. As Ankry mentioned - in order to have it in Autumn
2020 we need to fill the grant application till February 10th (which
is perfectly doable). Having it later - in Spring 2021 gives us more
preparation time but there is a risk of losing some energy overtime.
But it is up to your community to decide - WMPL is more than happy to
be the fiscal sponsor in both cases :)

Hello Ankry,
Thanks for initiating this. With many issues around wikisource and
much chance of learning from each other community it is right time we
have a separate conference dedicated for wikisource.
Please count me in for any help regarding organising the conference.
Regards,
J. Balaji.

Hi all,
this is great news - I'm really excited by the prospect of a
Wikisource Conference in Warsaw!
WMAT has already had a long call with Nathalia to share our
experiences from organising the 2015 edition and of course we are
here to support the next conference as best as we can!
Cheers

Hi Ankry,
Thanks for taking up the initiative to organise the much needed
conference. Wikisource is now a much more visible project in India
compared to 2015, when we participated in the last conference.
It's gaining importance within the Indian academic and librarian
circles. We already have some partnerships in different parts of
India and hopefully there will be a major partnership news coming
soon regarding Wikisource .
Anyway, in this regard, I personally feel 2021 is bit far away. If
this is not much a problem for WMPL or the user group, we can go
for Autumn 2020 as it would be great for Indian communities to
interact with the larger community and gain more knowledge at this
vital time of growth. Please be assured, that any help needed from
our side as Indian Wikisource communities and affiliates
supporting Wikisource projects will be provided whenever needed.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa

Hi all,
As some of you already noticed, we were talking on Saturday not
only about Wikimedia Summit, but also about plans concerning
Wikisource Conference sequel. The first Wikisource Conference
took place in Vienna in 2015. Maybe, five years later, it is good
time to organize the next event?
The only way for this to happen is to receive a grant from WMF.
Recently, I have got a confirmation from my chapter that
Wikimedia Polska is willing to help us to apply for the grant and
to organize Wikimedia Conference in Warsaw as a fiscal sponsor
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Fiscal_sponsorships>.
(AFAIK this is the same procedure that was applied to the
conference in Vienna).
What they need from us? We need:
to organize various commitees (Organizing Commitee, Program
Commitee, Grant Comission, etc); the discussion on Saturday
showed that there are people among us who want help in theese. Of
course the more people, the betterto decide when we want the
Conference. There are two possible dates: Autumn 2020 (likely
September) and Spring 2021 (likely May); we need to decide which
one is preferred and the decision is a bit urgent as for the near
term the deadline for grant application is 10 February (however
it is a realistic plan). At the moment this question is crucial
to estimate how many people wish to participate in the Conference
The person supporting us from WMPL is Natalia.
We have prepared a short survey that should help us to find
response to the above questions. The survey is here:

Please, fill it if you are interested in participating the
Conference.
Best,
Ankry
