Wikisource Conference 2025/Programme
Welcome! We are super excited about the programme for Wikisource Conference 2025! The call for session submissions was open from 09 September 2024, until 30 September 2024.
About Sessions
editThe main aim of this conference is to enable everyone as Wikisource users to share and join us in the broader Wikimedia movement, to make this project more known. From the sessions that were submitted, we aim to achieve interaction and discussion between every community and individual that attends for the benefit of development of Wikisource communities, especially around our theme “Wikisource: Transform & Preserve Heritage Digitally”. The sessions can be related, but not limited, to cross-community collaboration, new and upcoming features on Wikisource, and a long-term strategy for Wikisource.
