Wikidata:WikidataCon 2023/Contribute
On this page, the organizers will add information about how to take on some helpers roles for the event (facilitation, technical support, etc.)
Facilitation slots
editDuring the online program of the conference, we will need some help with facilitation of the sessions. The facilitators commit to one slot (ideally two people per slot) and will attend a briefing session ahead of the event so they can get familiar with the tool we will use (Gathertown).
The main roles of the facilitators are to make sure that the session is running smoothly, keeping track of the time, introducing the speakers, facilitating the transition from presentation to Q&A if needed, interacting with the speaker (for example to read out loud some questions asked in the chat), and keeping an eye on the chat to spot possible questions or issues. Facilitation of the online sessions will mostly take place in English. The facilitators are not expected to perform technical tasks (livestream, videorecording, etc.), which belong to another role.
The registration phase for the facilitation roles is now over. If you are willing to help on a last-minute basis, please do not add your name in the table, but contact Lea Lacroix (WMDE).
