== Apelul la Participare ==
Wikimania este un eveniment anual global devotat proiectelor Wikimedia
de pe glob (incluzând Wikipedia, Wikimanuale, Wikisource, Wikiştiri,
Wikţionar, Wikiversitate, Wikicitat, Wikispecii, şi Wikimedia
Commons). Conferinţa este o adunare a comunităţii, dând editorilor şi
utilizatorilor ai proiectelor Wikimedia o oportunitate de a se întâlni
unii pe alţii, schimburi de idei, raport despre cercetare şi proiecte,
şi vor colabora la viitorul proiectelor. Conferinţa este deschisă
publicului, şi este o şansă pentru educatori, cercetători,
programatori şi activişti ai liberei culturi care sunt interesaţi în
proiectele Wikimedia să înveţe mai multe şi să împărtăşească idei
despre proiectele Wikimedia.

În acest an conferinţa se va ţine între 26 - 28 August în Buenos
Aires, Argentina la Centrul Cultural San Martín (vezi Wikipedia şi
site-ul oficial).

Pentru mai multe informaţii, vă rugăm vizitaţi site-ul oficial
Wikimania 2009 la http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org.

There are two tracks for submission: the '''Casual Track''', for
members of wiki communities and interested observers to share their
own experiences and thoughts and to present new ideas; and the
'''Academic Track''', for research based on the methods of scientific
studies exploring the social, content or technical aspects of
Wikipedia, the other Wikimedia projects, or other massively
collaborative works, as well as open and free content creation and
community dynamics more generally.

Submissions to either track should address one or more of the following themes:

* '''"Wikimedia Communities,"''' including the topics of conflict
resolution and community dynamics; reputation and identity;
multi-lingualism and languages and cultures.
* '''"Free Knowledge,"''' including open access to information; ways
to gather and distribute free knowledge, use of the Wikimedia projects
in education, journalism, research; ways to improve content quality
and usability.
* '''"Latin American challenges,"''' centering on efforts and
limitations for expanding the reach of Wikimedia projects in Latin
America; promotion of projects in Native American languages; specific
problems of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Wikimedia communities.
* '''"Technical infrastructure,"''' including issues related to
MediaWiki development and extensions; Wikimedia's technical
infrastructure; and new ideas for development.

Papers should be of interest to members of the Wikimedia communities,
and fit within one of the themes above.

=== Types of Submissions ===

We are seeking submissions for:

* '''Presentations''' (10-30 minute talks with discussion afterwards)
:* This type of submission is appropriate for presenting substantial
research or community projects
* '''Workshops''' (60-120 minute session with a discussion leader and
more audience involvement)
:* This type of submission is appropriate for sessions designed to
teach a specific subject or explore it in depth
* '''Panels''' (group of 2-5 speakers to discuss aspects of a topic
with audience questions, 45-90 minute sessions)
:* This type of submission is appropriate for discussions on a topic
of wide interest among community members, with several participants
who may be presenting their work. For less formal discussions of
limited interest, consider an open space discussion instead.
* '''Open space discussions''' (informal discussion on a specific
topic; the discussion leader helps moderate the conversation but the
session is open to anyone interested to join in)
:* This type of submission is good for a topic that several
participants want to discuss or brainstorm about in an informal
setting
* '''Posters''' (printed visual displays that can stand on their own,
with no associated presentation)
:* This type of submission is good for presenting research in
progress, or smaller community projects
* '''Artistic works''' (plays, competitions, comedy, visualizations,
displays or other representations of some aspect of the projects)
:* This type of submission is good for showing creativity or
showcasing beautiful work about the projects.

In addition there will be the chance to give lightning talks, which
are 5-minute short presentations. Lightning talk sessions will be
organized on the Wikimania 2009 wiki shortly before the conference
begins, without any need to submit them via the submission system.
These talks are best for those who want to quickly present an idea or
project without giving a formal presentation. These are informal talks
that are open to everyone to participate in.
