For authors of accepted contributions

The following table shows which submissions have been accepted and in what format. In the coming days, possibly tonight, you will also get the notification of acceptance/rejection via e-mail. Please note, that the presentations and workshops will be given different time slots (see Presentation Formats section below). The decisions on the durations of individual presentations/workshops have not yet been made, and the actual program has not yet been compiled. We will return with this information as soon as it is available. We apologize for the delays.

Please provide us with the following supplementary information as soon as possible:

• Whether you plan to attend Wikimania and make your presentation/panel/workshop/tutorial. We ask you to confirm your presentation by putting the "x" mark in the "Confirmed" column in the table below.
• You are also required to provide a short summary of your presentation/panel/workshop/tutorial. It will be used in the final program to help people decide what sessions to go see. We request you to include a 30-word contribution & benefits statement in the "Summary" column in the table with the results (see also Examples of good summaries that are listed below).

To add this information, please either edit this page from your Wikimania or SUL account, or send the information via wiki e-mail to User:Jacek Jankowski or User:Yaroslav Blanter.

Presentation Formats

• Presentations. Wikimania presentations discuss significant contributions to research and practice in all aspects of wiki collaboration. We encourage emphasizing lessons learned and providing a clear concise message to the audience about the relevance of the work. Each presentaion will be given a 20-minutes (15 minutes talk + 5 minutes for Q&A session) or 30-minutes (25 minutes talk + 5 minutes for Q&A session) time slot.

• Workshops. Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and learn about topics that require extended engagement such as new systems, research methods, standards and formats. A workshop should require participants to engage with each other. Time frames: 45min or 1.5h or 3h

• Tutorials. Wikis are intended to be used, and no format is better suited for teaching the new wiki technology than showing and using it. Tutorials give presenters an opportunity to show running systems and gather feedback. We encourage creating interactive tutorials where participants follow on-screen step-by-step instructions. Each tutorial will be given a 45min time slot.

• Panels. Panels provide an interactive forum for bringing together people with interesting points of view to discuss compelling wiki issues. Panels involve participation from both the panelists and audience members in a lively discussion. Each panel will be given a 45min time slot.

• Posters. Poster presentations allow to present work that is best communicated in conversation. Wikimania's lively poster sessions let conference attendees exchange ideas one-on-one with authors, and let authors discuss their work in detail with those attendees most deeply interested in the topic. Successful applicants will be invited to display a poster - 1x2m in size. They will also have an opportuniy to give a short 5-minutes talk at a special session.

Examples of good summaries

• Accessibility Workshop - "Gain a first-hand experience on how disabled people use your code. With a little help, you will test with screen readers and magnifiers, using Braille displays and speech output."

• Brainstorming Wikimedia and social media - "Discussion and sharing of practices regarding use of social media to pursue our mission; Identification of benefits, opportunites, risks etc; Hopefully, some seeds for a future strategy or at least discovery of new uses or new tools."

• Allow, Invite, Encourage: Growing Wikimedia in the World - "This session is about the future of chapters and affiliation. We will analyse where things stand, and discuss concrete plans for growing Wikimedia projects by contributions from around the world."

• Conflicts between chapters and communities - "This panel will let you understand the conflicts between your local chapter and your editor community, or avoid them if you're planning to start a chapter."

Wikimania Madness

As you start getting ready for your Wikimania presentation, we invite you to prepare a 30-second preview of your work to present at Wikimania Madness. Wikimania Madness is one of the only events at Wikimania that brings all attendees together. You can find detailed information at Madness. We will follow up closer to the conference with additional information about your madness presentation.

Registration will be open shortly and we urge you to register early at Registration. You can also find the Advance Program shortly at Program.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the conference in Gdansk.

Congratulations!
