| − | ===''WikiData & Global Open Data: A Roundtable Discussion''=== |
||
| − | Wikimedia Deutschland, the official regional chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation in Germany, is currently developing the latest Wikimedia project, WikiData, a revolutionary new free knowledge base about the world that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike, which will provide data in all 280+ languages of the Wikimedia projects, and which will allow for central access to data. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In order to understand WikiData and its potential role in the global open data movement, Wikimedia District of Columbia and Sunlight Labs is holding a roundtable discussion event and brainstorming session to discuss global open data and to understand what WikiData is and is not as it develops. Please join Wikimedia District of Columbia and Sunlight Labs for a panel discussion featuring Josh Tauberer, creator of GovTrack.us and author of ''Open Government Data: The Book''; Andrew Pendleton, programmer at the Sunlight Foundation; and Katie Filbert, WikiData programmer at Wikimedia Deutschland. |

||
| + | |||
| + | The Wikimania hack-a-thon is an opportunity for technologists and hackers of all backgrounds to meet, discuss MediaWiki development, and collaborate on exciting new projects in the days prior to the Wikimania 2012 conference. Prior experience with the MediaWiki software is not required, and translators with a linguistic background who can help improve language support for Wikimedia technology projects are especially needed. |
