Before making a submission
Especially if you have made a submission to present at Wikimania before, the following information is important to read.
For 2019, there is no central program committee nor a central submission form - submissions are made via the form on the topic-specific pages on the wiki, linked below. The program design has the format of "Spaces", each with its own group of "Leaders". Each Space has its own topic area, and the leaders of each space are requesting submissions which help address the conference theme. The conference is prioritising sessions which are future-oriented, collaborative, active, and focused on practical problem-solving. To make a submission, please visit the page of the Space most relevant to your proposal, and click the submission button there.
Submissions for the plenary poster session are not required to strictly follow the Theme and can be proposed by the link below. Lightning talks will be proposed and organised during the conference itself.
થીમ
