Hi NANöR and everyone, Thank you so much for starting this thread and restarting the conversation about a second Wikisource Conference, the first one being in 2015.
I would also like to offer my support to the Organizing Team for this conference. I have past experience of supporting conferences like WikiConference India 2016, in my volunteer capacity, and I was a part of the Organizing Team which intended to organize the second Wikisource Conference in 2020 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/WCUG_Wikisource/Wikisource_Conference_2020>, as a WMF staff member. Thinking about the dates and venue, I believe we shall look at the upcoming the Conference Grants rounds <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference>. The* first round *has a submission deadline of *September 4, 2023* and event dates between *January to June 2024* while the *second round* has a deadline of *February 4, 2024* and event dates between *July to December 2024*. It might be better to think about venues after thinking about possible dates based on the collective capacities of the people involved. I am happy to provide support in any way that the Organizing Team deems appropriate. Looking forward to engaging in further conversations about the same.
