Brought over from #1522 .

The scope of invited submissions is outlined at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2021/Program/Day_2_and_3_-_Community_tracks .

The proposal seems to go into a non-public system, which I do not think is useful (at least not as a default). Anyway, the proposal form sits at https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/submit/NE0ETC/info/ , and I am pasting a screenshot below.

I could imagine contributions to any of the tracks, and one of the strategies I usually use for deciding what to submit myself is to look at what others have proposed and then see whether any of the gaps in there fit with my interests.

Here is my first session proposal:

• Title: Integrating Wikidata into education
• Abstract: The way Wikidata bridges across many domains of knowledge makes it interesting as a component of education. Here, I will look at this from two main use cases: (i) basic digital and data literacy and domain-general knowledge, (ii) domain-specific literacy and knowledge. Use case i will be mainly discussed at about high school level, and use case ii at undergraduate university level. Zooming in on the latter, I will further distinguish between use cases that are closely related to data science (ii-a) or not (ii-b).
• What will the participants take away from this session? Both generic and specific ideas as well as practical examples for how to include Wikidata into their own learning and teaching workflows, or how to guide other learners and teachers in this space
• Slides https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5586989 (upon start of presentation)
• Biography Biophysicist and data scientist whose contributions to Wikimedia projects center around topics related to research, sustainable development and disaster management.

In the process, my proposal was swallowed by the Pretalx system:

Thankfully, I had my backup copy here. Retrying now.

This time, it worked:

Let me see how the updating works. I changed the What will the participants take away from this session? bit to

Both generic and specific ideas as well as practical examples for how to include Wikidata into their own learning and teaching workflows, how to guide other learners and teachers in this space or how to include Wikidata components into curricula.

I also noticed that there is a link that can be used to view the submission: https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/talk/review/CAKKZL89PEUFFVCBMAEBVFAGDFUXDAD3 .

On to the next one.

• Title: State of WikiCite in 2021

• Abstract: In this presentation, I will review developments since the WikiCite 2020 conference from three main angles by considering its community, content and platform aspects, in particular in terms of how they relate to the sustainable future scenarios discussed on Saturday.

• What will the participants take away from this session? An update on recent developments around WikiCite and ways to engage with it.

• Slides https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5587147 (upon start of presentation)

• Biography Biophysicist and data scientist whose contributions to Wikimedia projects center around topics related to research, sustainable development and disaster management.
