Wikimania 2008: Call for Participation

Wikimania è un evento che si svolge annualmente per promuovere i progetti Wikimedia nel mondo (fra i quali Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary, Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wikispecies, e Wikimedia Commons). Sarà un'opportunità per tutti gli utenti di incontrarsi, conoscersi, scambiarsi idee, ricerche e progetti. Sarà un evento per la comunità, ma aperto alla partecipazione del pubblico e dei ricercatori. Quest'anno la conferenza avrà luogo il 17/19 luglio 2008 ad Alessandria d'Egitto, presso la nuova biblioteca di Alessandria (Bibliotheca Alexandrina).

Conference Tracks

Submissions should address one or more of the following themes:

Wikimedia Communities: Interesting projects and particularities

within the communities; policy creation within individual projects; conflict resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity; multi-lingualism, languages and cultures; social studies. We explicitly invite you to discuss your local Wikimedia project's community.

Free Knowledge: Open access to information; ways to gather and

distribute free knowledge, usage of the Wikimedia projects in education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality and usability; copyright laws and other legal areas that interfere with Wikimedia projects. Free Content in the Middle-East/Africa.

Technical infrastructure: Issues related to MediaWiki development

and extensions; Wikimedia's technical infrastructure; new ideas for development (including case studies from other wikis or similar projects).

Scientific track: Papers about massively collaborative work, open

and free content creation, community dynamics, the social or economic aspects of the Wikimedia projects, and other topics related to Wikimedia projects. Papers submitted to the scientific track will be peer reviewed by a reviewing committee regarding their novelty, rigour, and estimated impact, and accepted or rejected based on these reviews. The papers will be published in proceedings afterwards, and depending on the number and the quality of the submissions, a journal special issue may be pursued. Scientific track papers must be in English, and must not exceed 7,500 words (or 15 pages LNCS).

Your topic must be related either to the Wikimedia projects and their communities, or to the creation of free content in general.

Types of Submissions

We are seeking submissions for

presentations (10–30 minute talks with discussion afterwards)
workshops (60–120 minute session with more involvement of the audience)
panels (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss on a specific subject)
posters (printed presentations or visual displays that can stand on their own)
artistic artifacts (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations, or

other representations of some aspect of the projects)

In addition there will the possibility to give lightning talks (5 minute short presentations). These will be organized on the Wikimania 2008 wiki without need to submit via the submission system.

Submission Guidelines

Wikimania is organized by volunteers, so please help us minimize wasted effort by submitting via the submission system and following these guidelines. All submissions MUST explicitly include the following:

an English "Event title"
a short English "Abstract" of your event in 50 to 100 words. The

abstract will be used for the public schedule.

the "Track" your submission fits in best (Wikimedia Communities,

Free Knowledge, Technical infrastructure, or Scientific)

the "Event type" (presentation, workshop, panel, poster, artistic...)
information about the speaker (full name, email, a short description

of at least 2 sentences...)

for submissions to the scientific track: set "Submission of paper

for proceedings" to "yes" and upload a paper instead of the "Description" below as "Attachment". Papers must be in English, and must not exceed 7,500 words.

In addition you can add some more information like a a subtitle of the event, an image (will be resized to 128x128px) and private "Submission notes" for reviewers and conference organisation. In particular you should give:

a more detailed "Description" of your event in English or Arabic.

The description is essential for review: please give an overview of the areas to be covered or taught. The better you describe your submission, the more likely it will get accepted. State clearly the relevance to the Wikimedia projects and whether submission concerns a specific wiki project. You can also include links. The description will later be used for the public schedule but you can edit it before.

special requirements (such as equipment for a workshop or panel) if needed
the language used for presentation
whether you want to submit a paper for proceedings
whether you want to submit presentation slides
whether the presentation is intended to be a specific length
the target audience you are going to reach and what previous

knowledge is needed

images or sketches of the poster or artistic artifact if available
for panel submissions a suggested moderator and short biographies of

each suggested panelist

In the "Submission notes" you should tell us whether you will attend to Wikimania (a) surely, (b) probably, (c) only if your submission is accepted, or (d) only if we provide travel and/or accommodation. You can also add yourself to the public list of attendees at the Wikimania 2008 wiki: http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Attendees
