Wow! This is a great idea, and I hope it will change our outlook on the
Wikimedia movement and the potential it carries for change at a much
greater level than building and sharing knowledge... I have been trying to
bring attention to what participation in the movement can do for
disadvantaged individuals practically on my own in my community, and now
reading this... and the connection with the SDGs... it's more than exciting
:)

Looking forward to seeing how this develops!

Best,
Mina

It does sound like an interesting approach I look forward to it being a
successful format, will there time at the end of the day for panel sessions
to further explore the days discussions. Like Mina I too have been working
with disadvantaged and oppressed communities to bring their knowledge,
language, and culture into the Wiki world.

It'll be an interesting challenge for the program committee to judge the
where a talk submission fits, not just in time but also in content.

Dear Sir,
I thank you for your efforts. Concerning the health track, we are currently doing several works about the use of Wikidata in medicine. I already made proposals about this to Wikimania in the last two years. I ask if the efforts to ameliorate the medical coverage and applications of Wikidata can be taken into consideration in the health track.
Yours Sincerely,

Hi all,

The Wikimania organizing team is now happy to announce the Program Design<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design> of Wikimania 2019!

We believe that this year’s conference theme<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Theme> requires a format that is future-oriented, collaborative, active, and focused on practical problem-solving. The program will therefore consist of a series of parallel spaces (or tracks), lead by leaders, and through practical training, learning, idea-sharing and cross-cultural collaboration focusing on different topic areas.

The call for proposals for these Leaders, and what they would like to do with those Spaces, is NOW OPEN. We invite you to visit the Program Design page<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design> on the Wikimania Wiki to read more.

Dear Houcemeddine,

WikiProject Medicine User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med> has offered the space on
Medicine and Health.
Should our offer be accepted, we will be looking for proposals on health
and Wikidata as well.
Please be in touch with us. If you are not a member yet, please join us.
You are also welcome to join the Facebook group we have,

Hi all,

As a short reminder: today (22 March) is the last day to propose a space
for Wikimania 2019. More information here:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design

The program committee chair, Liam Wyatt, has also recorded a short video
explaining the changed format of the program:

Hope to see you in Stockholm in August!
