I think this is my first ever combo test, so thanks to the #Wikimania team for handing them out!

What can we learn from the 19th century women's temperance movement? #Wikimania

Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight goes from early barnraising (e.g. Marie Heim-Vögtlin, the first female Swiss physician, and co-founder of the Ligue Suisse des Femmes Abstinentes as in the slide) to current wiki-collaborations at #Wikimania2024 Details/slides: https://wikimania.eventyay.com/2024/talk/X9AMEJ/


yeah, I always non-ironically wanted the community to put together an application for it as one of the great intangible heritages of mankind. https://ich.unesco.org/en/home but in very wikipedian style most people thought that was arrogant ;)

Happy 20th birthday to @openstreetmap! 🎉2️⃣0️⃣🎂

While I’m not celebrating in any particular way today, I remember enjoying the 10th birthday in London during #Wikimania 10 years ago today.

Earlier that day I gave an Intro to OSM lecture. Then that night, I and others like Katie and @SK53 went to The Artillery Arms pub to celebrate with other mappers. There I finally met some OSM veterans like @harry_wood, @woodpeck, and @Firefishy.

Really proud of the #Wikimania organisers for the hashtag#COVID conversation during the conference orientation. They have masks and tests available too. Thank you as I really appreciate it!


by the way, I'm bringing Everyone Else Thinks This Game Is Awesome (nerd trivia game where you also have to guess who else knows the answer) to #Wikimania; anyone interested in playing it some evening? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/erasmusfox/everyone-else-thinks-this-game-is-awesome

#Wikimania2024


It's experimental and it will change and break in the coming weeks as we bring it in line with our existing services.

Anyway, if you try it out please let me know! And if you are at #Wikimania feel free to say hi.


We are starting day 0 at #Wikimania with a key future: Common Cause!


The folks on stage are arranged from “yes” to “no” on their answers to this question and it’s an interesting mix. #wikimania


I *really* should've brought one of my lanyards from the previous years, would've been useful today (meeting many people already but no registration until tomorrow)

this year they learnt to make them double-faced but the names (the actual interesting part) are still very small and barely legible 😭 #wikimania


Attention Human Assistants of the #WikimediaCutenessAssociation members! The official picture of the WCA, not explicitly marked in the program (yet?) is during the opening ceremony! Bring all the plushies to the correct place at the correct time! #Wikimania https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Cuteness_Association


My journey from Cottbus to Katowice started with a rail replacement bus to Forst. And then a tiny Polish train to Żary.

The train from Żary to Katowice was crowded, but it arrived on schedule.

I even managed to get my heavy bag onto the rack above the seats without it falling down.

I booked my accommodation in Katowice for Wikimania eight months ago. The place looked brand new and modern in the photos.

It seemed like an incredible deal, but now I see why. The exterior is a building site, and construction workers are digging a hole that’s getting alarmingly close to the front door.
