WEBVTT
00:00:07.231 --> 00:00:08.966
Hello, everyone.
00:00:10.584 --> 00:00:12.538
I hope you're comfortably seated,
00:00:12.538 --> 00:00:15.298
I hope you realized you had time
to grab a cup of coffee
00:00:15.298 --> 00:00:17.301
or tea before joining the room.
00:00:17.823 --> 00:00:20.311
If not, you'll be able to have one later.
00:00:21.758 --> 00:00:22.891
Good morning!
00:00:23.390 --> 00:00:26.970
I am Léa Lacroix, proud member
of the Wikidata team
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:29.450
at Wikimedia Germany,
and I am very, very excited
00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:32.240
to welcome you
to the second WikidataCon.
00:00:32.497 --> 00:00:36.047
(applause)
00:00:39.008 --> 00:00:40.124
Thank you.
00:00:40.489 --> 00:00:44.019
So most of you already know me
because I've been spamming you
00:00:44.019 --> 00:00:46.059
with a lot of emails recently,
00:00:46.059 --> 00:00:49.529
and I am glad to tell you
that in the next 20 minutes,
00:00:49.529 --> 00:00:52.819
I'll provide you with
more practical information
00:00:52.819 --> 00:00:56.504
about the conference, but I hope
that after this opening session,
00:00:57.356 --> 00:01:00.696
you'll be able to know everything
that you need to know about the conference
00:01:00.696 --> 00:01:03.911
and you'll have a great time here
in this awesome venue
00:01:03.911 --> 00:01:07.497
that is Urania Berlin,
I hope you will enjoy it.
00:01:07.676 --> 00:01:12.525
So, let's go straight away
with the most important things.
00:01:13.417 --> 00:01:15.770
We have a photography policy.
00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:19.981
Two important things to know,
people who wear an orange lanyard,
00:01:19.981 --> 00:01:22.731
they don't want to be taken
in pictures at all.
00:01:22.731 --> 00:01:26.279
They don't want to appear
on any kind of screen or device
00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:30.422
which means be especially careful
to not take pictures of these people.
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:34.728
And the people wearing
a regular lanyard, just like me--
00:01:35.461 --> 00:01:37.601
this is something
that is, maybe, slightly different
00:01:37.601 --> 00:01:39.691
from the Wikimedia events that you know,
00:01:39.691 --> 00:01:43.701
but basically, the rule is
if you want to publish a picture
00:01:43.701 --> 00:01:47.021
of people on Commons or on social media,
00:01:47.021 --> 00:01:49.871
please make sure that you obtain
the consent of the people
00:01:49.871 --> 00:01:51.391
before publishing it.
00:01:51.391 --> 00:01:53.241
So you can do that in different ways,
00:01:53.241 --> 00:01:56.011
you can ask beforehand,
before taking the picture--
00:01:56.011 --> 00:01:58.378
it doesn't have to be out loud--
you can just--I mean,
00:01:58.378 --> 00:02:00.888
if the person sees you taking the picture
00:02:00.888 --> 00:02:02.865
and starts behaving like this,
00:02:02.865 --> 00:02:05.792
it's probably that they consent
to be taken in picture.
00:02:06.173 --> 00:02:08.513
People who are on stage
during a session,
00:02:08.513 --> 00:02:11.783
usually agree with being taken in picture,
00:02:12.027 --> 00:02:15.297
and what you can also do
is ask afterwards--
00:02:15.297 --> 00:02:18.737
you take the picture of people
generally doing things
00:02:18.737 --> 00:02:20.597
and then you quickly go to them
and you ask,
00:02:20.597 --> 00:02:22.497
"Is that okay if I publish this?"
00:02:22.497 --> 00:02:25.025
This is really important
because we want to be more careful
00:02:25.025 --> 00:02:26.525
about people's privacy.
00:02:26.525 --> 00:02:28.895
We probably don't need pictures
00:02:28.895 --> 00:02:31.425
of every single participant
of the conference on Commons.
00:02:31.425 --> 00:02:35.175
I think we have enough pictures
of people typing on computers,
00:02:35.175 --> 00:02:38.755
so I will really ask you
to follow these rules,
00:02:38.755 --> 00:02:41.071
so everyone can feel comfortable
at the conference.
00:02:44.867 --> 00:02:47.389
So, another important part.
00:02:50.142 --> 00:02:54.142
Most of the content of the conference
will be live-streamed in this room
00:02:54.142 --> 00:02:57.272
and also in the two other session's rooms,
Kepler and Einstein.
00:02:57.272 --> 00:03:00.882
This is great because that allows people
who are not participating
00:03:00.882 --> 00:03:03.532
to actually follow the content
of the conference
00:03:03.532 --> 00:03:05.262
or being able to watch it afterwards.
00:03:05.262 --> 00:03:08.922
That's actually for you also
if you are afraid of missing a session,
00:03:08.922 --> 00:03:10.503
you can watch it later.
00:03:11.144 --> 00:03:15.984
But that also means that people onstage
will be filmed and recorded
00:03:15.984 --> 00:03:20.997
and also people, for example,
walking just in front of the stage
00:03:21.313 --> 00:03:23.053
can be recorded as well.
00:03:23.053 --> 00:03:26.283
So if you really don't want
to appear on camera,
00:03:26.283 --> 00:03:29.273
actually, the best spot
is to be next to the camera
00:03:29.273 --> 00:03:31.473
or slightly behind the camera,
depending on the room
00:03:31.473 --> 00:03:34.653
because here you're pretty sure
that you're not going to be filmed.
00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:40.363
And in the room Kepler,
don't be surprised when you enter the room
00:03:40.363 --> 00:03:42.723
if it looks like the camera
is filming the entrance,
00:03:42.723 --> 00:03:46.723
it's actually not, the camera is set up
so it's not filming people entering,
00:03:46.723 --> 00:03:48.423
so you can enter the room,
00:03:48.423 --> 00:03:51.233
you can walk around
and you won't be streamed.
00:03:51.233 --> 00:03:54.793
It's only focused on the speaker
who is in this room.
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.642
Alright.
00:03:58.727 --> 00:04:02.727
So I wanted to have a quick overview
of the building together
00:04:02.727 --> 00:04:05.537
because we didn't print
a floorplan for everyone
00:04:05.537 --> 00:04:07.514
in order to avoid too much printing.
00:04:07.514 --> 00:04:10.474
And the venue is very nice
but it can be also--
00:04:10.474 --> 00:04:13.144
it takes a bit of time to just understand
00:04:13.144 --> 00:04:14.204
how it's working.
00:04:14.204 --> 00:04:16.034
So, let's go through it very quickly.
00:04:16.034 --> 00:04:20.774
You arrive through the main entrance
in where the registration is.
00:04:20.774 --> 00:04:23.794
This is also where you can come
and ask any questions,
00:04:23.794 --> 00:04:27.524
and there is also a wardrobe here.
00:04:27.524 --> 00:04:30.264
If you want to leave your valuables
somewhere safe,
00:04:30.264 --> 00:04:31.904
it's a nice place to go.
00:04:32.244 --> 00:04:35.154
And this is also where the dining area,
00:04:35.154 --> 00:04:37.646
this is also where part
of the catering will happen.
00:04:38.109 --> 00:04:41.339
If you want to take some fresh air
or a cigarette,
00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:43.379
you can go out through the main entrance
00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:45.339
and also through what is mentioned here,
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:48.393
Emergency Exit, which is
the backyard of the venue
00:04:48.393 --> 00:04:50.762
that you can access
through the ground floor.
00:04:51.182 --> 00:04:54.622
And you have various staircases
that--be careful of that--
00:04:54.622 --> 00:04:58.012
don't necessarily lead
to all the floors in the venue.
00:04:58.653 --> 00:05:00.627
But you'll figure that out very soon.
00:05:00.627 --> 00:05:05.323
On the first floor where we are right now,
these are the three main session rooms.
00:05:05.323 --> 00:05:08.663
Let's say the formal part of the program
is taking place here.
00:05:08.663 --> 00:05:13.173
This is also the dining area
that we also call cafeteria sometimes.
00:05:13.173 --> 00:05:17.383
It's this place where you'll also
be able to have lunch and dinner.
00:05:21.725 --> 00:05:23.715
Then on the second floor,
00:05:23.715 --> 00:05:28.075
this is the part where the self-organized
part of the program takes place,
00:05:28.075 --> 00:05:30.135
which is also going
to be very interesting.
00:05:30.135 --> 00:05:32.295
So in Edison, you have a hacking space
00:05:32.295 --> 00:05:35.185
where you can go anytime
during the opening hours
00:05:35.185 --> 00:05:38.539
and just sit down and work on some stuff.
00:05:38.539 --> 00:05:41.322
You're going to have
the workshop room Darwin
00:05:42.119 --> 00:05:45.829
just next to it, and going to have
this nice Newton room
00:05:45.829 --> 00:05:48.509
that is really made
for just relaxing, discussing,
00:05:48.509 --> 00:05:51.270
having all kinds of informal discussion.
00:05:51.558 --> 00:05:55.048
And you have an extra meetup room
that is called Austen.
00:05:55.048 --> 00:05:58.544
Some stuff is already planned in there,
some stuff can still be planned,
00:05:58.967 --> 00:06:01.689
feel free to walk around,
there are also some posters.
00:06:01.865 --> 00:06:05.681
This is also where some exciting things
are going to happen tonight,
00:06:05.681 --> 00:06:06.851
during the evening.
00:06:06.851 --> 00:06:09.870
So feel free to make sure
that you check the second floor.
00:06:11.243 --> 00:06:14.363
And finally, the third floor
is not going to be widely used,
00:06:14.363 --> 00:06:17.313
but I wanted to mention
that we have a quiet room in the venue
00:06:17.313 --> 00:06:20.563
where you can go and take a nap,
take some rest,
00:06:20.563 --> 00:06:24.135
just escape a bit from the noise
and a lot of social interaction,
00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:29.204
so you can access it
through the stairs in the corner,
00:06:29.204 --> 00:06:32.590
and you can reach the room Curie
which is the quiet room.
00:06:33.386 --> 00:06:36.534
This is also where tomorrow morning
00:06:37.407 --> 00:06:39.827
the yoga and meditation session
will take place,
00:06:39.827 --> 00:06:42.101
but I will talk more
about this in a minute.
00:06:43.253 --> 00:06:47.843
Please, mind that we have elevators,
however, we'll want to make sure
00:06:47.843 --> 00:06:50.093
that they are available for people
who really need it.
00:06:50.684 --> 00:06:52.724
So, if you are able to take the stairs,
00:06:52.724 --> 00:06:55.854
I would like to ask you
to take the stairs.
00:06:56.542 --> 00:07:00.542
And at any time, you can find
the pictures of these maps
00:07:00.624 --> 00:07:03.224
at this URL map.wikidatacon.org,
00:07:03.452 --> 00:07:06.408
so you will never get lost.
00:07:06.408 --> 00:07:09.038
Also, if you are really lost
you can ask someone,
00:07:09.038 --> 00:07:11.529
especially people wearing
green T-shirts like me
00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:14.357
who can help you figure out
your way in the venue.
00:07:16.771 --> 00:07:19.791
So as I said, at the info desk
you can ask any question,
00:07:19.791 --> 00:07:22.874
you also have the Lost & Found box
if necessary.
00:07:22.874 --> 00:07:26.306
You can get some stuff printed
if you really need it,
00:07:26.306 --> 00:07:30.306
and for the scholars, this is also where
the reimbursement is going to happen.
00:07:30.374 --> 00:07:32.044
Be aware it's going to run until noon,
00:07:32.044 --> 00:07:34.444
after that, it's going
to be more complicated,
00:07:34.444 --> 00:07:37.916
so if you have some stuff
to get reimbursed, please, do it soon.
00:07:38.179 --> 00:07:41.913
There is also a wardrobe that is open
at the opening times of the venue,
00:07:41.913 --> 00:07:44.229
so feel free to leave
your valuables there.
00:07:44.229 --> 00:07:47.519
Anything you don't need, actually,
for the conference is very safe there.
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.879
Just don't forget to take them back
when you leave on Saturday.
00:07:54.388 --> 00:07:56.998
Then, I am not going to go
through the whole schedule
00:07:56.998 --> 00:07:58.657
because if you already had a look at it
00:07:58.657 --> 00:08:01.227
it's very full of a lot
of interesting stuff.
00:08:01.227 --> 00:08:04.737
I just wanted to mention
some important things.
00:08:04.884 --> 00:08:08.234
So today until 11, the things
are going to take place only here,
00:08:08.234 --> 00:08:11.494
and after that the rooms will
one after the other open,
00:08:11.797 --> 00:08:15.397
and the venue is open
until midnight today.
00:08:15.397 --> 00:08:19.097
Tomorrow we open
the doors at 8:30,
00:08:19.097 --> 00:08:21.990
and then the first session starts at 10,
just like today.
00:08:23.121 --> 00:08:26.941
At 2 p.m, we are going
to have the group photo
00:08:26.941 --> 00:08:29.111
in the backyard of the venue
if everything goes right,
00:08:29.111 --> 00:08:32.221
you will get some reminders about this
when the time comes.
00:08:32.221 --> 00:08:35.551
The rooms will start closing at 6:30
00:08:35.551 --> 00:08:39.281
and then, tomorrow,
the venue is closing at 8:30.
00:08:39.715 --> 00:08:43.115
So make sure that you get
everything you need before that.
00:08:44.890 --> 00:08:46.880
So, again, you can have a look
at the program
00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:49.260
either on program.wikidatacon.org
00:08:49.260 --> 00:08:51.120
or mobile.wikidatacon.org
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.097
for the awesome mobile version
that we have.
00:08:56.740 --> 00:09:00.270
Now, let's talk a bit about food
because that's important.
00:09:01.239 --> 00:09:04.452
Today and tomorrow,
we will offer you lunch and dinner.
00:09:05.161 --> 00:09:08.501
It will take place between 1:00 and 2:30
00:09:08.501 --> 00:09:12.621
on the ground floor in Arnheim-Foyer
00:09:12.621 --> 00:09:16.603
and in the cafeteria dining area
that I presented to you earlier
00:09:16.603 --> 00:09:19.480
and dinner between 6:30 and 20:00.
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:22.180
I am really glad to tell you
00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:24.840
that we decided to have
fully vegetarian meals
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.583
for this edition of the conference.
00:09:26.583 --> 00:09:27.773
(cheers)
00:09:27.773 --> 00:09:29.724
Of course--
Thank you.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.520
Of course, a vegan version
will be available,
00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:35.460
and we tried to make sure
that it's suitable for everyone
00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:38.560
so if you have any specific needs
feel free to ask the staff there,
00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:40.931
and they will make sure
that you get something to eat.
00:09:41.445 --> 00:09:43.425
You will also get something to drink,
00:09:43.425 --> 00:09:47.515
of course, warm and cold drinks
are available at anytime,
00:09:47.515 --> 00:09:49.875
and we'll also have some snack breaks.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.980
And as usual in Wikimedia events,
we have a sweets table
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:58.590
so if you ever brought some candies
from your home region,
00:09:58.590 --> 00:10:01.800
you can put them down there
on the counter basically
00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:05.020
at the end of the counter
right down in there,
00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:09.833
and also try some interesting stuff
that the other people brought.
00:10:14.033 --> 00:10:18.175
Now, apart from the formal program
that is taking place on this floor
00:10:18.175 --> 00:10:19.785
and that's getting streamed,
00:10:19.785 --> 00:10:22.335
we also have a lot
of self-organized things
00:10:22.335 --> 00:10:25.385
that's happening because I think
the core of the conference
00:10:25.385 --> 00:10:27.905
is actually between
the interaction with people
00:10:27.905 --> 00:10:30.745
and all the spontaneous
or not so spontaneous meetups
00:10:30.745 --> 00:10:32.035
that are happening,
00:10:32.035 --> 00:10:35.475
and people gathering around topics
that they all care about.
00:10:35.713 --> 00:10:37.493
So, we have the hacking room for that
00:10:37.493 --> 00:10:40.473
that's going to be open
as much as possible.
00:10:40.473 --> 00:10:42.783
There are tables there that have a number,
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,
00:10:46.773 --> 00:10:50.093
"Hey, I'm table No. 5
and I am working on--
00:10:50.093 --> 00:10:55.751
I don't know--importing data
about this topic. Please, join."
00:10:56.195 --> 00:10:59.749
So, for that, you can go to the Wiki page
00:10:59.749 --> 00:11:01.369
that is called "Self-organized session"
00:11:01.369 --> 00:11:04.879
and you can just write down something here
explaining where you are.
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.289
You can advertise it also
on the discussion channels like Telegram
00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:10.675
and make sure that people can join.
00:11:10.675 --> 00:11:14.405
The Newton room, the discussion room
that you will discover soon,
00:11:14.405 --> 00:11:16.295
is also made for that purpose,
00:11:16.295 --> 00:11:20.571
and you can also use the cafeteria
when it's not lunch time.
00:11:25.619 --> 00:11:30.529
Alright. Now, I wanted to present
to you quickly the social events
00:11:30.529 --> 00:11:32.809
that we have for you.
00:11:32.809 --> 00:11:37.648
So first of all, today is going to be
the Birthday celebration.
00:11:37.648 --> 00:11:40.606
So, of course, like
any birthday celebration,
00:11:40.606 --> 00:11:43.396
we are going to have
some cake at the dinner,
00:11:43.396 --> 00:11:45.986
and then we are going to have
two very exciting sessions.
00:11:45.986 --> 00:11:47.946
We are going to have
the birthday presents demo,
00:11:47.946 --> 00:11:50.356
because I don't know if you know
but it's kind of a tradition
00:11:50.356 --> 00:11:53.396
in the Wikidata community
when it's Wikidata's birthday,
00:11:53.396 --> 00:11:55.406
people prepare some little presents.
00:11:55.406 --> 00:11:57.636
It can be a piece of code,
it can be a new tool,
00:11:57.636 --> 00:12:01.417
but it can be also something
non development-related,
00:12:02.023 --> 00:12:06.023
so we are actually super excited
to present that to you.
00:12:06.023 --> 00:12:09.453
If you plan to present something,
please, talk to Lydia
00:12:09.453 --> 00:12:12.100
because she's going
to be coordinating a bit everything
00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:14.020
that's happening there.
00:12:14.020 --> 00:12:15.750
And then, for the first time,
NOTE Paragraph
00:12:15.750 --> 00:12:19.150
we're going to have
the WikidataCon Awards ceremony.
00:12:19.150 --> 00:12:22.300
This is going to be very exciting,
I think you should all be here
00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:25.092
because a lot of surprises
will happen here.
00:12:25.826 --> 00:12:29.936
Some of the most enjoyed tools
and projects in the Wikidata
00:12:29.936 --> 00:12:31.986
and Wikibase community
have been selected
00:12:31.986 --> 00:12:33.400
and will be presented to you.
00:12:33.400 --> 00:12:36.277
I say no more--you will see
it's going to be awesome.
00:12:36.277 --> 00:12:38.247
And after that, tonight,
00:12:38.247 --> 00:12:41.247
we are offering you
basically some space
00:12:41.247 --> 00:12:43.687
to just relax and network and discuss.
00:12:43.687 --> 00:12:47.017
There is going to be a nice light
and sound installation here,
00:12:47.017 --> 00:12:50.197
nothing too loud so you can continue
just having discussions
00:12:50.197 --> 00:12:52.592
and talking to people.
00:12:53.457 --> 00:12:57.457
As for tomorrow, another experimentation
that we have this year
00:12:57.457 --> 00:13:02.517
is the yoga introduction
and the guided meditation session.
00:13:02.517 --> 00:13:04.947
Basically, we are aware
that this kind of event
00:13:04.947 --> 00:13:07.365
can be extremely intense
00:13:07.365 --> 00:13:10.205
and after a first day,
you are already like,
00:13:10.205 --> 00:13:13.795
your brain is so full of all the content,
all the discussions that you had
00:13:13.795 --> 00:13:17.585
so in order to relax a bit,
we are offering you two options
00:13:17.585 --> 00:13:21.643
to just clear your mind before starting
a new day of the conference.
00:13:21.851 --> 00:13:25.901
So both happen at the same time,
tomorrow at 8:45 on the third floor,
00:13:25.901 --> 00:13:30.194
you can choose either a yoga introduction,
really easy, it's made for newcomers,
00:13:30.194 --> 00:13:32.614
same for the guided meditation session.
00:13:32.614 --> 00:13:35.074
So feel free to come a few minutes before
00:13:35.074 --> 00:13:39.769
and enjoy this time
before you start the conference again.
00:13:40.448 --> 00:13:43.598
And finally, tomorrow
we are going to have dinner
00:13:43.598 --> 00:13:45.508
here in the venue and after that
00:13:45.508 --> 00:13:48.738
we are going to go
for a goodbye drink at 8:00
00:13:48.738 --> 00:13:53.515
in a venue that is called Alte Pumpe--
it's a very, very nice place.
00:13:57.450 --> 00:13:59.460
What? Okay.
00:14:01.668 --> 00:14:06.488
Actually, I will give you more information
about where to go and stuff like this
00:14:06.488 --> 00:14:07.958
during the closing session
00:14:07.958 --> 00:14:10.278
because you don't need to have
all the details now,
00:14:10.278 --> 00:14:12.654
but it's also going to be
a very nice moment.
00:14:14.638 --> 00:14:21.101
So, we are 250 participants here
00:14:21.101 --> 00:14:22.451
at the conference,
00:14:22.451 --> 00:14:26.031
from 46 different countries--
that's super exciting.
00:14:26.031 --> 00:14:28.941
A lot of people interested
in a lot of different topics.
00:14:29.316 --> 00:14:34.815
So, we will love you to engage
with participants as much as possible.
00:14:35.060 --> 00:14:37.280
We all have at least one common point
00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:40.455
is that we're interested
in Wikidata or Wikibase,
00:14:40.455 --> 00:14:43.781
so you can start discussion with that--
that's a good point.
00:14:44.152 --> 00:14:48.760
So we have a few discussion channels,
we have, for example, a Telegram channel.
00:14:48.881 --> 00:14:51.271
You can use the #WikidataCon
00:14:51.271 --> 00:14:54.625
and also #WikidataBirthday
on social networks.
00:14:54.625 --> 00:14:58.335
You can access the list of participants,
add yourself if you're still not there,
00:14:58.335 --> 00:15:01.670
so people can find you by topic
of interest, these kind of things,
00:15:02.715 --> 00:15:05.996
and the best moment, we suggest you
to engage with each other
00:15:05.996 --> 00:15:08.616
is actually during the brakes--
we have lots of brakes,
00:15:08.616 --> 00:15:10.916
lunch and dinner,
the meetups and so on.
00:15:11.405 --> 00:15:16.430
Also, you all received a little wallet
as a present for the participants.
00:15:17.941 --> 00:15:23.871
Feel free to collect some business cards
or other contacts from people
00:15:23.871 --> 00:15:25.857
that you meet during the conference.
00:15:26.011 --> 00:15:30.073
And since you're also in the community
you received a pen with the wallet,
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--
00:15:33.811 --> 00:15:35.308
there is a space for that--
00:15:35.308 --> 00:15:38.848
because since you're now 250 people
having the same wallet in the room--
00:15:38.848 --> 00:15:39.887
(laughing)
00:15:39.887 --> 00:15:42.877
if I find a wallet on the table
and there is no name,
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.
00:15:51.033 --> 00:15:52.303
Alright.
00:15:54.483 --> 00:15:57.433
We have--since we are all here
interested in Wikidata,
00:15:57.433 --> 00:15:59.774
and Wikibase, of course
we want to talk to you
00:15:59.774 --> 00:16:00.990
about these topics.
00:16:00.990 --> 00:16:03.084
We want to gather your input
00:16:03.084 --> 00:16:06.794
on what should be the future
of Wikidata and Wikibase.
00:16:06.794 --> 00:16:09.243
So, in general, the whole event
it is actually made for that
00:16:09.243 --> 00:16:12.093
but there are some specific sessions
that can be interesting.
00:16:12.093 --> 00:16:15.993
We have a workshop today that is called,
"Envisioning Wikidata in the future."
00:16:16.741 --> 00:16:20.061
It's a two-hour workshop
and I want to tell you right now,
00:16:20.061 --> 00:16:23.451
the idea of this workshop is
that you attend to the whole two hours
00:16:23.451 --> 00:16:26.331
so there is no "can I come
only for the first hour"
00:16:26.331 --> 00:16:27.711
or something like this.
00:16:27.711 --> 00:16:30.531
It's an experience in itself
so you have to go there.
00:16:30.531 --> 00:16:33.411
There are still some spaces free,
00:16:33.411 --> 00:16:37.552
so feel free to just go the room
when you arrive.
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.962
We also have a booth
that is dedicated to user experience
00:16:41.962 --> 00:16:46.918
and my colleagues here will be there
to talk with you about Wikidata features
00:16:46.918 --> 00:16:48.758
and all kind of other things.
00:16:48.758 --> 00:16:51.758
So feel free to jump by,
it's on the ground floor.
00:16:51.758 --> 00:16:55.748
You can also get some interviews
about various Wikidata features.
00:16:56.109 --> 00:17:01.599
And if you want to talk about anything
related to Wikidata and Wikibase strategy,
00:17:01.599 --> 00:17:05.069
I have two colleagues here
who will be listening to you
00:17:05.069 --> 00:17:08.079
and very glad to talk to you--
this is Lydia and Elena.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.289
You can find them in the event,
during the event,
00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:15.069
feel free to reach for them.
00:17:16.402 --> 00:17:19.862
Very, very shortly on Sunday,
we're going to have some side events
00:17:19.862 --> 00:17:21.792
if you want to join,
this is not mandatory.
00:17:21.792 --> 00:17:25.922
This is open to everyone, including people
who are not registered to the conference.
00:17:25.922 --> 00:17:28.852
You can find them on the page here.
00:17:28.852 --> 00:17:30.422
I just to wanted to mention one thing
00:17:30.422 --> 00:17:33.826
that's important for people who are not
from a European country--
00:17:34.468 --> 00:17:36.528
during the night between
Saturday and Sunday,
00:17:36.528 --> 00:17:38.838
we're going to have this time change
00:17:38.838 --> 00:17:42.278
where basically the clock
is going to go backward of one hour.
00:17:42.278 --> 00:17:44.618
So if you want to attend an event,
00:17:44.618 --> 00:17:47.828
or if you have a flight
or transport to catch,
00:17:47.828 --> 00:17:51.548
be aware of the new hour,
check your device
00:17:51.548 --> 00:17:55.828
and ask random people in the street
if you don't know what time is it.
00:17:55.828 --> 00:17:56.938
Feel free to do so.
00:17:56.938 --> 00:18:00.076
- (man) They don't know either.
- (Léa) Maybe they don't know either.
00:18:00.076 --> 00:18:01.800
(laughing)
Alright.
00:18:01.969 --> 00:18:04.047
(man) Or if you want to go earlier.
00:18:04.047 --> 00:18:05.141
(laughs)
00:18:05.141 --> 00:18:07.451
Quick note about documentation,
we love documentation.
00:18:07.451 --> 00:18:10.101
Please, help us documenting--
it's very important.
00:18:10.101 --> 00:18:15.637
You have links to notepads
in all the Wiki pages of the sessions.
00:18:15.637 --> 00:18:18.581
If you can still take a few notes
when you are there,
00:18:19.593 --> 00:18:22.233
also helping collecting
the summaries of the sessions,
00:18:22.233 --> 00:18:24.970
it would be so, so useful for us.
00:18:25.525 --> 00:18:28.765
The link of the live-stream,
I already shared it on various networks,
00:18:28.765 --> 00:18:32.105
so feel free to share it for people
who are outside this conference,
00:18:32.105 --> 00:18:35.137
and I've put the hashtags
in the Common category again.
00:18:36.154 --> 00:18:38.474
Okay. Two important things.
00:18:38.474 --> 00:18:41.094
Don't forget to take care of other people.
00:18:41.094 --> 00:18:42.912
Try to be kind and supportive.
00:18:43.702 --> 00:18:47.570
Make sure you leave space for everyone
to express their opinions and ideas.
00:18:47.774 --> 00:18:52.273
I also want to mention
that since we are a very diverse audience
00:18:52.273 --> 00:18:54.353
at this conference, and it's awesome.
00:18:54.353 --> 00:18:57.220
We have people
from the editors of the community.
00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:58.760
We have people from institutions
00:18:58.760 --> 00:19:02.075
who just come and try
to learn more about Wikidata,
00:19:02.075 --> 00:19:03.945
and since you all know a bit of Wikidata,
00:19:03.945 --> 00:19:07.835
you also know that it covers
a very large amount of different skills
00:19:07.835 --> 00:19:10.295
and maybe people
don't have the same skills,
00:19:10.295 --> 00:19:11.805
or the same knowledge as you,
00:19:11.805 --> 00:19:15.805
so try to embrace this diversity,
be welcoming to people,
00:19:15.805 --> 00:19:17.675
and I am pretty sure
that you can always learn
00:19:17.675 --> 00:19:19.985
at least one thing
from the person in front of you.
00:19:19.985 --> 00:19:21.765
So try to highlight that.
00:19:22.211 --> 00:19:25.041
And, of course, don't forget
to take care of yourself.
00:19:26.075 --> 00:19:28.925
We're going to have plenty
of water and food for you.
00:19:29.452 --> 00:19:33.176
If you want to avoid
the usual post-conference flu,
00:19:33.463 --> 00:19:36.813
we would suggest that you try
to watch your end,
00:19:36.813 --> 00:19:40.288
and get enough sleep
and get enough fresh air.
00:19:40.488 --> 00:19:43.168
Speaking about taking care of each other,
00:19:43.168 --> 00:19:47.058
we have a friendly space policy
that you all complied to
00:19:47.058 --> 00:19:48.828
by signing up to this event,
00:19:48.828 --> 00:19:52.292
and we'll ask you to respect it.
00:19:52.707 --> 00:19:57.850
So, we really want to have an event
that has no harassment or discrimination.
00:19:58.239 --> 00:20:01.344
So, we have here four different people
00:20:01.344 --> 00:20:04.636
who are part of the friendly space
policy reference
00:20:04.636 --> 00:20:07.899
that you can contact them anytime,
anytime you can go to them--
00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:10.552
Amir, Lucie, Tpt, and Rosalie.
00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:14.519
And you can also report an issue
directly by email.
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.239
So, again, there is
a link to the full page,
00:20:17.239 --> 00:20:20.169
it's on Wiki anyway,
you can have a look, and really,
00:20:20.169 --> 00:20:23.559
if you feel uncomfortable at any time,
feel free to talk to them.
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.211
And finally, if you need
any kind of help,
00:20:28.211 --> 00:20:32.211
feel free to ask the organization team--
that's us here.
00:20:32.211 --> 00:20:35.251
Feel free to ask the volunteers
wearing this beautiful green T-shirt.
00:20:35.251 --> 00:20:37.507

this beautiful green T-shirt,
00:20:37.507 --> 00:20:39.657

00:20:39.657 --> 00:20:44.359
