With the theme Rethink + Reset : Visions of the Future, the first ever virtual WikiIndaba ,WikiIndaba 2021 Kampala (05 - 07 November 2021) will also be the 6th in a series of annual African conferences which provide a unique opportunity for the Wikimedia community in Africa and the diaspora to come together, share their common goals, and develop better ways to work together. It will also have learning days on 03-04 November but these are organised separately and are not part of the main conference.
Whether you are a community member of one of the Wikimedia projects (such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikidata, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, Wikiversity, MediaWiki or others), or a fellow open content creator or consumer, we welcome your proposal for a session at WikiIndaba 2021. Sessions will consist of a number of concurrent tracks, presentations, discussions, lightning talks, invited speakers and tutorials.
This is a call for submissions for the virtual conference.Proposals can be submitted as a Movement Group, Affiliate, Individual or as a Collective of individuals.
If you would like to propose a speaker for the Keynote and Invited tracks (including yourself), you may do so by contacting the organisers of the conference. We will give particular consideration to allies and leaders of the Free Knowledge movement who can provide a new, fresh perspective on our projects or their communities.
The deadline for submissions is 23:59 GMT/UTC on September 24 2021.
