Wikidata:Eighth Birthday/24-hours meetup
Every year, the decentralized Wikidata birthday aims to bring the community from all around the world together. That's why we would like to experiment with a new format: a 24-hours online call, where people can jump in at any time, discuss with community members they may or may not know, and chat about everything that makes them enthusiastic about Wikidata! So many things can happen during this call: discussions, games, watching one of the online birthday events together, live-editing... participants will shape the event and make it unique!
- Summary
- Documentation
- Where? Online, using BigBlueButton
- When? During 24 hours, from October 28th at 17:00 UTC, until October 29th at 17:00 UTC
- What? Discussing about what makes you feel enthusiastic about/with Wikidata
- Who can join? Everyone! The call will be moderated by various people (see schedule below)
- Ground rules: all participants must complied to the code of conduct. No recording allowed. No screenshot allowed without express consent from all participants. Showing video is not mandatory, sound-only is perfectly OK.
- Contacts: in case of technical problems, if you have trouble joining the call, etc. feel free to contact Lea Lacroix (WMDE). During the meetup, you can write a private message to the person taking care of moderation (having "(moderation)" in their nickname, also mentioned in the table below). If you want to want to report a problem with a participant's behaviour, you can contact techconduct
wikimedia.org (see details)
Schedule & facilitation[edit]
In order to run this experiment, we need people to help us facilitating the 24-hours meetup. We're looking for two people per 1-hour slot, who can take care of the following things:
- welcome people who join the call,
- make sure that everyone feels included and has space to speak if they want to
- facilitate the discussion, launch new topics or questions if needed, or redirect the discussion to the main topic
- make sure that the atmosphere stays nice, newcomer-friendly and complies with the code of conduct
Facilitators can also set a specific topic for the slot where they are actively moderating (for example: WikiCite, libraries, Wikibase, a specific WikiProject...) or a specific activity (live editing, querying... remember to stay newcomer-friendly).
Interested in being a facilitator? Here's how you can do it!
- Choose a timeslot in the schedule below, add your wiki username & Telegram nickname. Please double-check the time in your own timezone, your availability, and mark it down in your favorite calendar app! We suggest you to sign up to 3 slots maximum, and leave breaks in between.
- Feel free to get other people onboard and find yourself a co-facilitator, especially if you want to set up a topic for the slot. Topics & activities are not mandatory, but welcome as long as they are accessible to newcomers.
- If you're using Telegram, you're welcome to join the Wikidata events Telegram group. This will allow us to reach out to you easily if needed, and to get information about the events.
