00:00:07,231 --> 00:00:08,966
Hello, everyone.

2
00:00:10,584 --> 00:00:12,538
I hope you're comfortably seated,

3
00:00:12,538 --> 00:00:15,298
I hope you realized you had time
to grab a cup of coffee

4
00:00:15,298 --> 00:00:17,301
or tea before joining the room.

5
00:00:17,823 --> 00:00:20,311
If not, you'll be able to have one later.

6
00:00:21,758 --> 00:00:22,891
Good morning!

7
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:26,970
I am Léa Lacroix, proud member
of the Wikidata team

8
00:00:26,970 --> 00:00:29,450
at Wikimedia Germany, 
and I am very, very excited

9
00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:32,240
to welcome you
to the second WikidataCon.

10
00:00:32,497 --> 00:00:36,047
(applause)

11
00:00:39,008 --> 00:00:40,124
Thank you.

12
00:00:40,489 --> 00:00:44,019
So most of you already know me 
because I've been spamming you

13
00:00:44,019 --> 00:00:46,059
with a lot of emails recently,

14
00:00:46,059 --> 00:00:49,529
and I am glad to tell you
that in the next 20 minutes,

15
00:00:49,529 --> 00:00:52,819
I'll provide you with
more practical information

16
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:56,504
about the conference, but I hope
that after this opening session,

17
00:00:57,356 --> 00:01:00,696
you'll be able to know everything
that you need to know about the conference

18
00:01:00,696 --> 00:01:03,911
and you'll have a great time here 
in this awesome venue

19
00:01:03,911 --> 00:01:07,497
that is Urania Berlin,
I hope you will enjoy it.

20
00:01:07,676 --> 00:01:12,525
So, let's go straight away
with the most important things.

21
00:01:13,417 --> 00:01:15,770
We have a photography policy.

22
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:19,981
Two important things to know,
people who wear an orange lanyard,

23
00:01:19,981 --> 00:01:22,731
they don't want to be taken
in pictures at all.

24
00:01:22,731 --> 00:01:26,279
They don't want to appear
on any kind of screen or device

25
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:30,422
which means be especially careful
to not take pictures of these people.

26
00:01:31,645 --> 00:01:34,728
And the people wearing
a regular lanyard, just like me--

27
00:01:35,461 --> 00:01:37,601
this is something
that is, maybe, slightly different

28
00:01:37,601 --> 00:01:39,691
from the Wikimedia events that you know,

29
00:01:39,691 --> 00:01:43,701
but basically, the rule is
if you want to publish a picture

30
00:01:43,701 --> 00:01:47,021
of people on Commons or on social media,

31
00:01:47,021 --> 00:01:49,871
please make sure that you obtain
the consent of the people

32
00:01:49,871 --> 00:01:51,391
before publishing it.

33
00:01:51,391 --> 00:01:53,241
So you can do that in different ways,

34
00:01:53,241 --> 00:01:56,011
you can ask beforehand,
before taking the picture--

35
00:01:56,011 --> 00:01:58,378
it doesn't have to be out loud--
you can just--I mean,

36
00:01:58,378 --> 00:02:00,888
if the person sees you taking the picture

37
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:02,865
and starts behaving like this,

38
00:02:02,865 --> 00:02:05,792
it's probably that they consent
to be taken in picture.

39
00:02:06,173 --> 00:02:08,513
People who are on stage
during a session,

40
00:02:08,513 --> 00:02:11,783
usually agree with being taken in picture,

41
00:02:12,027 --> 00:02:15,297
and what you can also do
is ask afterwards--

42
00:02:15,297 --> 00:02:18,737
you take the picture of people
generally doing things

43
00:02:18,737 --> 00:02:20,597
and then you quickly go to them
and you ask,

44
00:02:20,597 --> 00:02:22,497
"Is that okay if I publish this?"

45
00:02:22,497 --> 00:02:25,025
This is really important 
because we want to be more careful

46
00:02:25,025 --> 00:02:26,525
about people's privacy.

47
00:02:26,525 --> 00:02:28,895
We probably don't need pictures

48
00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:31,425
of every single participant
of the conference on Commons.

49
00:02:31,425 --> 00:02:35,175
I think we have enough pictures
of people typing on computers,

50
00:02:35,175 --> 00:02:38,755
so I will really ask you
to follow these rules,

51
00:02:38,755 --> 00:02:41,071
so everyone can feel comfortable
at the conference.

52
00:02:44,867 --> 00:02:47,389
So, another important part.

53
00:02:50,142 --> 00:02:54,142
Most of the content of the conference
will be live-streamed in this room

54
00:02:54,142 --> 00:02:57,272
and also in the two other session's rooms,
Kepler and Einstein.

55
00:02:57,272 --> 00:03:00,882
This is great because that allows people
who are not participating

56
00:03:00,882 --> 00:03:03,532
to actually follow the content
of the conference

57
00:03:03,532 --> 00:03:05,262
or being able to watch it afterwards.

58
00:03:05,262 --> 00:03:08,922
That's actually for you also
if you are afraid of missing a session,

59
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,503
you can watch it later.

60
00:03:11,144 --> 00:03:15,984
But that also means that people onstage
will be filmed and recorded

61
00:03:15,984 --> 00:03:20,997
and also people, for example,
walking just in front of the stage

62
00:03:21,313 --> 00:03:23,053
can be recorded as well.

63
00:03:23,053 --> 00:03:26,283
So if you really don't want
to appear on camera,

64
00:03:26,283 --> 00:03:29,273
actually, the best spot
is to be next to the camera

65
00:03:29,273 --> 00:03:31,473
or slightly behind the camera,
depending on the room

66
00:03:31,473 --> 00:03:34,653
because here you're pretty sure
that you're not going to be filmed.

67
00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:40,363
And in the room Kepler,
don't be surprised when you enter the room

68
00:03:40,363 --> 00:03:42,723
if it looks like the camera
is filming the entrance,

69
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:46,723
it's actually not, the camera is set up
so it's not filming people entering,

70
00:03:46,723 --> 00:03:48,423
so you can enter the room,

71
00:03:48,423 --> 00:03:51,233
you can walk around
and you won't be streamed.

72
00:03:51,233 --> 00:03:54,793
It's only focused on the speaker
who is in this room.

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,642
Alright.

74
00:03:58,727 --> 00:04:02,727
So I wanted to have a quick overview
of the building together

75
00:04:02,727 --> 00:04:05,537
because we didn't print
a floorplan for everyone

76
00:04:05,537 --> 00:04:07,514
in order to avoid too much printing.

77
00:04:07,514 --> 00:04:10,474
And the venue is very nice
but it can be also--

78
00:04:10,474 --> 00:04:13,144
it takes a bit of time to just understand

79
00:04:13,144 --> 00:04:14,204
how it's working.

80
00:04:14,204 --> 00:04:16,034
So, let's go through it very quickly.

81
00:04:16,034 --> 00:04:20,774
You arrive through the main entrance
in where the registration is.

82
00:04:20,774 --> 00:04:23,794
This is also where you can come
and ask any questions,

83
00:04:23,794 --> 00:04:27,524
and there is also a wardrobe here.

84
00:04:27,524 --> 00:04:30,264
If you want to leave your valuables
somewhere safe,

85
00:04:30,264 --> 00:04:31,904
it's a nice place to go.

86
00:04:32,244 --> 00:04:35,154
And this is also where the dining area,

87
00:04:35,154 --> 00:04:37,646
this is also where part
of the catering will happen.

88
00:04:38,109 --> 00:04:41,339
If you want to take some fresh air
or a cigarette,

89
00:04:41,339 --> 00:04:43,379
you can go out through the main entrance

90
00:04:43,379 --> 00:04:45,339
and also through what is mentioned here,

91
00:04:45,339 --> 00:04:48,393
Emergency Exit, which is
the backyard of the venue

92
00:04:48,393 --> 00:04:50,762
that you can access
through the ground floor.

93
00:04:51,182 --> 00:04:54,622
And you have various staircases 
that--be careful of that--

94
00:04:54,622 --> 00:04:58,012
don't necessarily lead
to all the floors in the venue.

95
00:04:58,653 --> 00:05:00,627
But you'll figure that out very soon.

96
00:05:00,627 --> 00:05:05,323
On the first floor where we are right now,
these are the three main session rooms.

97
00:05:05,323 --> 00:05:08,663
Let's say the formal part of the program
is taking place here.

98
00:05:08,663 --> 00:05:13,173
This is also the dining area
that we also call cafeteria sometimes.

99
00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:17,383
It's this place where you'll also
be able to have lunch and dinner.

100
00:05:21,725 --> 00:05:23,715
Then on the second floor,

101
00:05:23,715 --> 00:05:28,075
this is the part where the self-organized
part of the program takes place,

102
00:05:28,075 --> 00:05:30,135
which is also going
to be very interesting.

103
00:05:30,135 --> 00:05:32,295
So in Edison, you have a hacking space

104
00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:35,185
where you can go anytime
during the opening hours

105
00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:38,539
and just sit down and work on some stuff.

106
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:41,322
You're going to have
the workshop room Darwin

107
00:05:42,119 --> 00:05:45,829
just next to it, and going to have
this nice Newton room

108
00:05:45,829 --> 00:05:48,509
that is really made
for just relaxing, discussing,

109
00:05:48,509 --> 00:05:51,270
having all kinds of informal discussion.

110
00:05:51,558 --> 00:05:55,048
And you have an extra meetup room
that is called Austen.

111
00:05:55,048 --> 00:05:58,544
Some stuff is already planned in there,
some stuff can still be planned,

112
00:05:58,967 --> 00:06:01,689
feel free to walk around,
there are also some posters.

113
00:06:01,865 --> 00:06:05,681
This is also where some exciting things
are going to happen tonight,

114
00:06:05,681 --> 00:06:06,851
during the evening.

115
00:06:06,851 --> 00:06:09,870
So feel free to make sure
that you check the second floor.

116
00:06:11,243 --> 00:06:14,363
And finally, the third floor
is not going to be widely used,

117
00:06:14,363 --> 00:06:17,313
but I wanted to mention
that we have a quiet room in the venue

118
00:06:17,313 --> 00:06:20,563
where you can go and take a nap,
take some rest,

119
00:06:20,563 --> 00:06:24,135
just escape a bit from the noise
and a lot of social interaction,

120
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:29,204
so you can access it
through the stairs in the corner,

121
00:06:29,204 --> 00:06:32,590
and you can reach the room Curie
which is the quiet room.

122
00:06:33,386 --> 00:06:36,534
This is also where tomorrow morning

123
00:06:37,407 --> 00:06:39,827
the yoga and meditation session
will take place,

124
00:06:39,827 --> 00:06:42,101
but I will talk more
about this in a minute.

125
00:06:43,253 --> 00:06:47,843
Please, mind that we have elevators, 
however, we'll want to make sure

126
00:06:47,843 --> 00:06:50,093
that they are available for people
who really need it.

127
00:06:50,684 --> 00:06:52,724
So, if you are able to take the stairs,

128
00:06:52,724 --> 00:06:55,854
I would like to ask you
to take the stairs.

129
00:06:56,542 --> 00:07:00,542
And at any time, you can find 
the pictures of these maps

130
00:07:00,624 --> 00:07:03,224
at this URL <i>map.wikidatacon.org</i>,

131
00:07:03,452 --> 00:07:06,408
so you will never get lost.

132
00:07:06,408 --> 00:07:09,038
Also, if you are really lost
you can ask someone,

133
00:07:09,038 --> 00:07:11,529
especially people wearing
green T-shirts like me

134
00:07:11,529 --> 00:07:14,357
who can help you figure out
your way in the venue.

135
00:07:16,771 --> 00:07:19,791
So as I said, at the info desk
you can ask any question,

136
00:07:19,791 --> 00:07:22,874
you also have the Lost & Found box 
if necessary.

137
00:07:22,874 --> 00:07:26,306
You can get some stuff printed
if you really need it,

138
00:07:26,306 --> 00:07:30,306
and for the scholars, this is also where
the reimbursement is going to happen.

139
00:07:30,374 --> 00:07:32,044
Be aware it's going to run until noon,

140
00:07:32,044 --> 00:07:34,444
after that, it's going
to be more complicated,

141
00:07:34,444 --> 00:07:37,916
so if you have some stuff
to get reimbursed, please, do it soon.

142
00:07:38,179 --> 00:07:41,913
There is also a wardrobe that is open
at the opening times of the venue,

143
00:07:41,913 --> 00:07:44,229
so feel free to leave
your valuables there.

144
00:07:44,229 --> 00:07:47,519
Anything you don't need, actually,
for the conference is very safe there.

145
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:51,879
Just don't forget to take them back
when you leave on Saturday.

146
00:07:54,388 --> 00:07:56,998
Then, I am not going to go
through the whole schedule

147
00:07:56,998 --> 00:07:58,657
because if you already had a look at it

148
00:07:58,657 --> 00:08:01,227
it's very full of a lot
of interesting stuff.

149
00:08:01,227 --> 00:08:04,737
I just wanted to mention
some important things.

150
00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:08,234
So today until 11, the things
are going to take place only here,

151
00:08:08,234 --> 00:08:11,494
and after that the rooms will
one after the other open,

152
00:08:11,797 --> 00:08:15,397
and the venue is open 
until midnight today.

153
00:08:15,397 --> 00:08:19,097
Tomorrow we open
the doors at 8:30,

154
00:08:19,097 --> 00:08:21,990
and then the first session starts at 10,
just like today.

155
00:08:23,121 --> 00:08:26,941
At 2 p.m, we are going
to have the group photo

156
00:08:26,941 --> 00:08:29,111
in the backyard of the venue
if everything goes right,

157
00:08:29,111 --> 00:08:32,221
you will get some reminders about this
when the time comes.

158
00:08:32,221 --> 00:08:35,551
The rooms will start closing at 6:30

159
00:08:35,551 --> 00:08:39,281
and then, tomorrow,
the venue is closing at 8:30.

160
00:08:39,715 --> 00:08:43,115
So make sure that you get
everything you need before that.

161
00:08:44,890 --> 00:08:46,880
So, again, you can have a look
at the program

162
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,260
either on <i>program.wikidatacon.org</i>

163
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,120
or <i>mobile.wikidatacon.org</i>

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,097
for the awesome mobile version
that we have.

165
00:08:56,740 --> 00:09:00,270
Now, let's talk a bit about food
because that's important.

166
00:09:01,239 --> 00:09:04,452
Today and tomorrow,
we will offer you lunch and dinner.

167
00:09:05,161 --> 00:09:08,501
It will take place between 1:00 and 2:30

168
00:09:08,501 --> 00:09:12,621
on the ground floor in Arnheim-Foyer

169
00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:16,603
and in the cafeteria dining area
that I presented to you earlier

170
00:09:16,603 --> 00:09:19,480
and dinner between 6:30 and 20:00.

171
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,180
I am really glad to tell you

172
00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:24,840
that we decided to have
fully vegetarian meals

173
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,583
for this edition of the conference.

174
00:09:26,583 --> 00:09:27,773
(cheers)

175
00:09:27,773 --> 00:09:29,724
Of course-- 
Thank you.

176
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Of course, a vegan version
will be available,

177
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,460
and we tried to make sure
that it's suitable for everyone

178
00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:38,560
so if you have any specific needs
feel free to ask the staff there,

179
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,931
and they will make sure
that you get something to eat.

180
00:09:41,445 --> 00:09:43,425
You will also get something to drink,

181
00:09:43,425 --> 00:09:47,515
of course, warm and cold drinks
are available at anytime,

182
00:09:47,515 --> 00:09:49,875
and we'll also have some snack breaks.

183
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,980
And as usual in Wikimedia events,
we have a sweets table

184
00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:58,590
so if you ever brought some candies 
from your home region,

185
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:01,800
you can put them down there 
on the counter basically

186
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,020
at the end of the counter
right down in there,

187
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:09,833
and also try some interesting stuff
that the other people brought.

188
00:10:14,033 --> 00:10:18,175
Now, apart from the formal program
that is taking place on this floor

189
00:10:18,175 --> 00:10:19,785
and that's getting streamed,

190
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:22,335
we also have a lot
of self-organized things

191
00:10:22,335 --> 00:10:25,385
that's happening because I think
the core of the conference

192
00:10:25,385 --> 00:10:27,905
is actually between
the interaction with people

193
00:10:27,905 --> 00:10:30,745
and all the spontaneous
or not so spontaneous meetups

194
00:10:30,745 --> 00:10:32,035
that are happening,

195
00:10:32,035 --> 00:10:35,475
and people gathering around topics
that they all care about.

196
00:10:35,713 --> 00:10:37,493
So, we have the hacking room for that

197
00:10:37,493 --> 00:10:40,473
that's going to be open
as much as possible.

198
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:42,783
There are tables there that have a number,

199
00:10:42,783 --> 00:10:46,773
so you can just sit down at the table
at some point and tell all the people,

200
00:10:46,773 --> 00:10:50,093
"Hey, I'm table No. 5
and I am working on--

201
00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:55,751
I don't know--importing data
about this topic. Please, join."

202
00:10:56,195 --> 00:10:59,749
So, for that, you can go to the Wiki page

203
00:10:59,749 --> 00:11:01,369
that is called "Self-organized session"

204
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:04,879
and you can just write down something here
explaining where you are.

205
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:08,289
You can advertise it also
on the discussion channels like Telegram

206
00:11:08,289 --> 00:11:10,675
and make sure that people can join.

207
00:11:10,675 --> 00:11:14,405
The Newton room, the discussion room
that you will discover soon,

208
00:11:14,405 --> 00:11:16,295
is also made for that purpose,

209
00:11:16,295 --> 00:11:20,571
and you can also use the cafeteria 
when it's not lunch time.

210
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:30,529
Alright. Now, I wanted to present
to you quickly the social events

211
00:11:30,529 --> 00:11:32,809
that we have for you.

212
00:11:32,809 --> 00:11:37,648
So first of all, today is going to be 
the Birthday celebration.

213
00:11:37,648 --> 00:11:40,606
So, of course, like
any birthday celebration,

214
00:11:40,606 --> 00:11:43,396
we are going to have
some cake at the dinner,

215
00:11:43,396 --> 00:11:45,986
and then we are going to have
two very exciting sessions.

216
00:11:45,986 --> 00:11:47,946
We are going to have
the birthday presents demo,

217
00:11:47,946 --> 00:11:50,356
because I don't know if you know
but it's kind of a tradition

218
00:11:50,356 --> 00:11:53,396
in the Wikidata community
when it's Wikidata's birthday,

219
00:11:53,396 --> 00:11:55,406
people prepare some little presents.

220
00:11:55,406 --> 00:11:57,636
It can be a piece of code,
it can be a new tool,

221
00:11:57,636 --> 00:12:01,417
but it can be also something
non development-related,

222
00:12:02,023 --> 00:12:06,023
so we are actually super excited
to present that to you.

223
00:12:06,023 --> 00:12:09,453
If you plan to present something,
please, talk to Lydia

224
00:12:09,453 --> 00:12:12,100
because she's going
to be coordinating a bit everything

225
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,020
that's happening there.

226
00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:15,750
And then, for the first time,

227
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:19,150
we're going to have 
the WikidataCon Awards ceremony.

228
00:12:19,150 --> 00:12:22,300
This is going to be very exciting,
I think you should all be here

229
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,092
because a lot of surprises
will happen here.

230
00:12:25,826 --> 00:12:29,936
Some of the most enjoyed tools
and projects in the Wikidata

231
00:12:29,936 --> 00:12:31,986
and Wikibase community
have been selected

232
00:12:31,986 --> 00:12:33,400
and will be presented to you.

233
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,277
I say no more--you will see
it's going to be awesome.

234
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:38,247
And after that, tonight,

235
00:12:38,247 --> 00:12:41,247
we are offering you
basically some space

236
00:12:41,247 --> 00:12:43,687
to just relax and network and discuss.

237
00:12:43,687 --> 00:12:47,017
There is going to be a nice light
and sound installation here,

238
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:50,197
nothing too loud so you can continue
just having discussions

239
00:12:50,197 --> 00:12:52,592
and talking to people.

240
00:12:53,457 --> 00:12:57,457
As for tomorrow, another experimentation
that we have this year

241
00:12:57,457 --> 00:13:02,517
is the yoga introduction
and the guided meditation session.

242
00:13:02,517 --> 00:13:04,947
Basically, we are aware
that this kind of event

243
00:13:04,947 --> 00:13:07,365
can be extremely intense

244
00:13:07,365 --> 00:13:10,205
and after a first day,
you are already like,

245
00:13:10,205 --> 00:13:13,795
your brain is so full of all the content,
all the discussions that you had

246
00:13:13,795 --> 00:13:17,585
so in order to relax a bit,
we are offering you two options

247
00:13:17,585 --> 00:13:21,643
to just clear your mind before starting
a new day of the conference.

248
00:13:21,851 --> 00:13:25,901
So both happen at the same time,
tomorrow at 8:45 on the third floor,

249
00:13:25,901 --> 00:13:30,194
you can choose either a yoga introduction,
really easy, it's made for newcomers,

250
00:13:30,194 --> 00:13:32,614
same for the guided meditation session.

251
00:13:32,614 --> 00:13:35,074
So feel free to come a few minutes before

252
00:13:35,074 --> 00:13:39,769
and enjoy this time
before you start the conference again.

253
00:13:40,448 --> 00:13:43,598
And finally, tomorrow
we are going to have dinner

254
00:13:43,598 --> 00:13:45,508
here in the venue and after that

255
00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:48,738
we are going to go
for a goodbye drink at 8:00

256
00:13:48,738 --> 00:13:53,515
in a venue that is called Alte Pumpe--
it's a very, very nice place.

257
00:13:57,450 --> 00:13:59,460
What? Okay.

258
00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:06,488
Actually, I will give you more information
about where to go and stuff like this

259
00:14:06,488 --> 00:14:07,958
during the closing session

260
00:14:07,958 --> 00:14:10,278
because you don't need to have
all the details now,

261
00:14:10,278 --> 00:14:12,654
but it's also going to be
a very nice moment.

262
00:14:14,638 --> 00:14:21,101
So, we are 250 participants here

263
00:14:21,101 --> 00:14:22,451
at the conference,

264
00:14:22,451 --> 00:14:26,031
from 46 different countries--
that's super exciting.

265
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,941
A lot of people interested
in a lot of different topics.

266
00:14:29,316 --> 00:14:34,815
So, we will love you to engage
with participants as much as possible.

267
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:37,280
We all have at least one common point

268
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,455
is that we're interested
in Wikidata or Wikibase,

269
00:14:40,455 --> 00:14:43,781
so you can start discussion with that--
that's a good point.

270
00:14:44,152 --> 00:14:48,760
So we have a few discussion channels,
we have, for example, a Telegram channel.

271
00:14:48,881 --> 00:14:51,271
You can use the #WikidataCon

272
00:14:51,271 --> 00:14:54,625
and also #WikidataBirthday
on social networks.

273
00:14:54,625 --> 00:14:58,335
You can access the list of participants,
add yourself if you're still not there,

274
00:14:58,335 --> 00:15:01,670
so people can find you by topic
of interest, these kind of things,

275
00:15:02,715 --> 00:15:05,996
and the best moment, we suggest you 
to engage with each other

276
00:15:05,996 --> 00:15:08,616
is actually during the brakes--
we have lots of brakes,

277
00:15:08,616 --> 00:15:10,916
lunch and dinner,
the meetups and so on.

278
00:15:11,405 --> 00:15:16,430
Also, you all received a little wallet
as a present for the participants.

279
00:15:17,941 --> 00:15:23,871
Feel free to collect some business cards
or other contacts from people

280
00:15:23,871 --> 00:15:25,857
that you meet during the conference.

281
00:15:26,011 --> 00:15:30,073
And since you're also in the community
you received a pen with the wallet,

282
00:15:30,073 --> 00:15:33,811
I would like to suggest you to actually
add your name on the back of the wallet--

283
00:15:33,811 --> 00:15:35,308
there is a space for that--

284
00:15:35,308 --> 00:15:38,848
because since you're now 250 people 
having the same wallet in the room--

285
00:15:38,848 --> 00:15:39,887
(laughing)

286
00:15:39,887 --> 00:15:42,877
if I find a wallet on the table
and there is no name,

287
00:15:42,877 --> 00:15:47,319
I have no clue of whose is that,
so please do that before it's too late.

288
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:52,303
Alright.

289
00:15:54,483 --> 00:15:57,433
We have--since we are all here
interested in Wikidata,

290
00:15:57,433 --> 00:15:59,774
and Wikibase, of course
we want to talk to you

291
00:15:59,774 --> 00:16:00,990
about these topics.

292
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:03,084
We want to gather your input

293
00:16:03,084 --> 00:16:06,794
on what should be the future
of Wikidata and Wikibase.

294
00:16:06,794 --> 00:16:09,243
So, in general, the whole event
it is actually made for that

295
00:16:09,243 --> 00:16:12,093
but there are some specific sessions
that can be interesting.

296
00:16:12,093 --> 00:16:15,993
We have a workshop today that is called,
"Envisioning Wikidata in the future."

297
00:16:16,741 --> 00:16:20,061
It's a two-hour workshop
and I want to tell you right now,

298
00:16:20,061 --> 00:16:23,451
the idea of this workshop is
that you attend to the whole two hours

299
00:16:23,451 --> 00:16:26,331
so there is no "can I come
only for the first hour"

300
00:16:26,331 --> 00:16:27,711
or something like this.

301
00:16:27,711 --> 00:16:30,531
It's an experience in itself
so you have to go there.

302
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:33,411
There are still some spaces free,

303
00:16:33,411 --> 00:16:37,552
so feel free to just go the room 
when you arrive.

304
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,962
We also have a booth
that is dedicated to user experience

305
00:16:41,962 --> 00:16:46,918
and my colleagues here will be there
to talk with you about Wikidata features

306
00:16:46,918 --> 00:16:48,758
and all kind of other things.

307
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:51,758
So feel free to jump by,
it's on the ground floor.

308
00:16:51,758 --> 00:16:55,748
You can also get some interviews
about various Wikidata features.

309
00:16:56,109 --> 00:17:01,599
And if you want to talk about anything
related to Wikidata and Wikibase strategy,

310
00:17:01,599 --> 00:17:05,069
I have two colleagues here
who will be listening to you

311
00:17:05,069 --> 00:17:08,079
and very glad to talk to you--
this is Lydia and Elena.

312
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:12,289
You can find them in the event,
during the event,

313
00:17:12,289 --> 00:17:15,069
feel free to reach for them.

314
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:19,862
Very, very shortly on Sunday,
we're going to have some side events

315
00:17:19,862 --> 00:17:21,792
if you want to join,
this is not mandatory.

316
00:17:21,792 --> 00:17:25,922
This is open to everyone, including people
who are not registered to the conference.

317
00:17:25,922 --> 00:17:28,852
You can find them on the page here.

318
00:17:28,852 --> 00:17:30,422
I just to wanted to mention one thing

319
00:17:30,422 --> 00:17:33,826
that's important for people who are not
from a European country--

320
00:17:34,468 --> 00:17:36,528
during the night between
Saturday and Sunday,

321
00:17:36,528 --> 00:17:38,838
we're going to have this time change

322
00:17:38,838 --> 00:17:42,278
where basically the clock
is going to go backward of one hour.

323
00:17:42,278 --> 00:17:44,618
So if you want to attend an event,

324
00:17:44,618 --> 00:17:47,828
or if you have a flight
or transport to catch,

325
00:17:47,828 --> 00:17:51,548
be aware of the new hour,
check your device

326
00:17:51,548 --> 00:17:55,828
and ask random people in the street
if you don't know what time is it.

327
00:17:55,828 --> 00:17:56,938
Feel free to do so.

328
00:17:56,938 --> 00:18:00,076
- (man) They don't know either.
- (Léa) Maybe they don't know either.

329
00:18:00,076 --> 00:18:01,800
(laughing)
Alright.

330
00:18:01,969 --> 00:18:04,047
(man) Or if you want to go earlier.

331
00:18:04,047 --> 00:18:05,141
(laughs)

332
00:18:05,141 --> 00:18:07,451
Quick note about documentation,
we love documentation.

333
00:18:07,451 --> 00:18:10,101
Please, help us documenting--
it's very important.

334
00:18:10,101 --> 00:18:15,637
You have links to notepads
in all the Wiki pages of the sessions.

335
00:18:15,637 --> 00:18:18,581
If you can still take a few notes
when you are there,

336
00:18:19,593 --> 00:18:22,233
also helping collecting
the summaries of the sessions,

337
00:18:22,233 --> 00:18:24,970
it would be so, so useful for us.

338
00:18:25,525 --> 00:18:28,765
The link of the live-stream,
I already shared it on various networks,

339
00:18:28,765 --> 00:18:32,105
so feel free to share it for people
who are outside this conference,

340
00:18:32,105 --> 00:18:35,137
and I've put the hashtags
in the Common category again.

341
00:18:36,154 --> 00:18:38,474
Okay. Two important things.

342
00:18:38,474 --> 00:18:41,094
Don't forget to take care of other people.

343
00:18:41,094 --> 00:18:42,912
Try to be kind and supportive.

344
00:18:43,702 --> 00:18:47,570
Make sure you leave space for everyone
to express their opinions and ideas.

345
00:18:47,774 --> 00:18:52,273
I also want to mention
that since we are a very diverse audience

346
00:18:52,273 --> 00:18:54,353
at this conference, and it's awesome.

347
00:18:54,353 --> 00:18:57,220
We have people
from the editors of the community.

348
00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:58,760
We have people from institutions

349
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,075
who just come and try
to learn more about Wikidata,

350
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:03,945
and since you all know a bit of Wikidata,

351
00:19:03,945 --> 00:19:07,835
you also know that it covers
a very large amount of different skills

352
00:19:07,835 --> 00:19:10,295
and maybe people
don't have the same skills,

353
00:19:10,295 --> 00:19:11,805
or the same knowledge as you,

354
00:19:11,805 --> 00:19:15,805
so try to embrace this diversity,
be welcoming to people,

355
00:19:15,805 --> 00:19:17,675
and I am pretty sure
that you can always learn

356
00:19:17,675 --> 00:19:19,985
at least one thing
from the person in front of you.

357
00:19:19,985 --> 00:19:21,765
So try to highlight that.

358
00:19:22,211 --> 00:19:25,041
And, of course, don't forget
to take care of yourself.

359
00:19:26,075 --> 00:19:28,925
We're going to have plenty
of water and food for you.

360
00:19:29,452 --> 00:19:33,176
If you want to avoid
the usual post-conference flu,

361
00:19:33,463 --> 00:19:36,813
we would suggest that you try
to watch your end,

362
00:19:36,813 --> 00:19:40,288
and get enough sleep
and get enough fresh air.

363
00:19:40,488 --> 00:19:43,168
Speaking about taking care of each other,

364
00:19:43,168 --> 00:19:47,058
we have a friendly space policy
that you all complied to

365
00:19:47,058 --> 00:19:48,828
by signing up to this event,

366
00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:52,292
and we'll ask you to respect it.

367
00:19:52,707 --> 00:19:57,850
So, we really want to have an event
that has no harassment or discrimination.

368
00:19:58,239 --> 00:20:01,344
So, we have here four different people

369
00:20:01,344 --> 00:20:04,636
who are part of the friendly space
policy reference

370
00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:07,899
that you can contact them anytime,
anytime you can go to them--

371
00:20:07,899 --> 00:20:10,552
Amir, Lucie, Tpt, and Rosalie.

372
00:20:11,099 --> 00:20:14,519
And you can also report an issue
directly by email.

373
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:17,239
So, again, there is
a link to the full page,

374
00:20:17,239 --> 00:20:20,169
it's on Wiki anyway,
you can have a look, and really,

375
00:20:20,169 --> 00:20:23,559
if you feel uncomfortable at any time,
feel free to talk to them.

376
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:28,211
And finally, if you need
any kind of help,

377
00:20:28,211 --> 00:20:32,211
feel free to ask the organization team--
that's us here.

378
00:20:32,211 --> 00:20:35,251
Feel free to ask the volunteers
wearing this beautiful green T-shirt.

379
00:20:35,251 --> 00:20:37,507
And if you also want
this beautiful green T-shirt,

380
00:20:37,507 --> 00:20:39,657
we actually need a few more volunteers,

381
00:20:39,657 --> 00:20:44,359
so if you willing to help, feel free
to come to me after this session.

382
00:20:46,374 --> 00:20:47,634
Thank you very much.

383
00:20:47,634 --> 00:20:51,260
I hope you enjoy this conference,
as much as we enjoyed preparing it.

384
00:20:51,831 --> 00:20:53,881
Have a nice time. Thank you!

385
00:20:53,938 --> 00:20:57,938
