Hello,
Just a reminder that the application, submission and scholarship process
for the WikidataCon is open until *April 29th*.
If you plan to apply, I suggest you don't wait for the last minute, to
avoid yourself some unnecessary stress :) Since it contains the program
submissions, the form can take 30 to 40 minutes to fill out.
Feel free to *share this information in your community*, or everyone you
think would be interested to join the conference!
If you have any question, feel free to reach the organizing team at
info at wikidatacon.org <mailto:info at wikidatacon.org>
Cheers, Léa

Hello all,
As you may know, the *WikidataCon 2019
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019>* will take
place on October 25th-26th 2019 in Berlin. The conference will host 250
people from the Wikidata community, but also the emerging Wikibase
community, as well as partners, organizations and companies the
organizations who may be interested in *using Wikidata and Wikibase*, or
contributing in various ways to the evolution of Wikidata. The event
will be focused on networking and strategic discussions around Wikidata
and Wikibase, with a special focus on *languages and Wikidata*.
Because the number of seats is limited and in order to make sure that
the access to the conference is fair, we decided to set up a selection
process. People who wish to attend the conference can now apply by
filling in the application form
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend/Apply>.
A committee equally composed of volunteers and staff will evaluate the
applications against criteria that are already published onwiki
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend>.
This application form aims to gather all of the useful information at
once, that’s why it also contains the program submissions (limited to 3
per person) and the scholarship application if needed. You can find more
information about the content of the form on this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend/Apply>.
Part of the attendees will be also invited directly by the organizing
team, based on the connections we want to build with organizations
during this conference, and the input they can bring to Wikidata’s
strategy.
The deadline to fill out the application form is April 29th. No
application can be considered after this date. Over the following month,
the committee will evaluate the applications, and the applicants will
receive an answer latest on June 12th.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare your application:
* Read the description of the conference
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019> and the
page describing the process and the criteria
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend>
carefully.
* Plan 20 to 30 minutes to fill out the form.
* Don’t do it at the last minute :) it will be less stressful for you,
as well as for the committee.
* Prepare all your program submissions, as they will be requested in
the same form (no submission can be done later). On this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Program>
you can check the formats and questions.
* Read the Friendly Space Policy
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend/Policy>
that will apply to the entire event.
* Look at the visa information
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019/Attend/Visa>
to check if you need a visa to Germany and what actions you need to
take.
You can find a lot of information regarding the conference on
Wikidata:WikidataCon 2019
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019>. If you have
any question or issue, feel free to share it on the talk page onwiki or
to reach the organizing team at info at wikidatacon.org
<mailto:info at wikidatacon.org>
Finally, feel free to share this message with your local community,
networks, or projects you’re working in! We want to make sure that
everyone who’s involved in Wikidata or Wikibase has a chance to apply.
We're looking forward to receiving your applications!
Thanks for your attention,
