Topic on Wikidata talk:WikidataCon 2017

Hello all,

I'm glad to announce that the registrations for the WikidataCon are now open! You can access to all informations and fill the form.

Important: due the necessary time for people to get visas (about 3 months), we changed the deadline for the scholarship applications. You can apply for a scholarship before July 16th. We will then make sure that the applicants receive a response on July 25th.

Reminder: you can still propose a project for the program until July 31st!

If you have any question, problem, or see an information missing, feel free to reach me.

What kind of crazy system is this? Lessons learned from dozens of previous organized events: Never ever make tickets free. Random people will sign up, won't show up and your actual audience will get annoyed.

I consider myself an active member of the community. I thought this would be a nice event to attend and pay for myself. Forcing me to sign up to some stupid waiting list is not nice at all. I doubt if I will be there.
