1 00:00:07,231 --> 00:00:08,966 Hello, everyone. 2 00:00:10,584 --> 00:00:12,538 I hope you're comfortably seated, 3 00:00:12,538 --> 00:00:15,298 I hope you realized you had time to grab a cup of coffee 4 00:00:15,298 --> 00:00:17,301 or tea before joining the room. 5 00:00:17,823 --> 00:00:20,311 If not, you'll be able to have one later. 6 00:00:21,758 --> 00:00:22,891 Good morning! 7 00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:26,970 I am Léa Lacroix, proud member of the Wikidata team 8 00:00:26,970 --> 00:00:29,450 at Wikimedia Germany, and I am very, very excited 9 00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:32,240 to welcome you to the second WikidataCon. 10 00:00:32,497 --> 00:00:36,047 (applause) 11 00:00:39,008 --> 00:00:40,124 Thank you. 12 00:00:40,489 --> 00:00:44,019 So most of you already know me because I've been spamming you 13 00:00:44,019 --> 00:00:46,059 with a lot of emails recently, 14 00:00:46,059 --> 00:00:49,529 and I am glad to tell you that in the next 20 minutes, 15 00:00:49,529 --> 00:00:52,819 I'll provide you with more practical information 16 00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:56,504 about the conference, but I hope that after this opening session, 17 00:00:57,356 --> 00:01:00,696 you'll be able to know everything that you need to know about the conference 18 00:01:00,696 --> 00:01:03,911 and you'll have a great time here in this awesome venue 19 00:01:03,911 --> 00:01:07,497 that is Urania Berlin, I hope you will enjoy it. 20 00:01:07,676 --> 00:01:12,525 So, let's go straight away with the most important things. 21 00:01:13,417 --> 00:01:15,770 We have a photography policy. 22 00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:19,981 Two important things to know, people who wear an orange lanyard, 23 00:01:19,981 --> 00:01:22,731 they don't want to be taken in pictures at all. 24 00:01:22,731 --> 00:01:26,279 They don't want to appear on any kind of screen or device 25 00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:30,422 which means be especially careful to not take pictures of these people. 26 00:01:31,645 --> 00:01:34,728 And the people wearing a regular lanyard, just like me-- 27 00:01:35,461 --> 00:01:37,601 this is something that is, maybe, slightly different 28 00:01:37,601 --> 00:01:39,691 from the Wikimedia events that you know, 29 00:01:39,691 --> 00:01:43,701 but basically, the rule is if you want to publish a picture 30 00:01:43,701 --> 00:01:47,021 of people on Commons or on social media, 31 00:01:47,021 --> 00:01:49,871 please make sure that you obtain the consent of the people 32 00:01:49,871 --> 00:01:51,391 before publishing it. 33 00:01:51,391 --> 00:01:53,241 So you can do that in different ways, 34 00:01:53,241 --> 00:01:56,011 you can ask beforehand, before taking the picture-- 35 00:01:56,011 --> 00:01:58,378 it doesn't have to be out loud-- you can just--I mean, 36 00:01:58,378 --> 00:02:00,888 if the person sees you taking the picture 37 00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:02,865 and starts behaving like this, 38 00:02:02,865 --> 00:02:05,792 it's probably that they consent to be taken in picture. 39 00:02:06,173 --> 00:02:08,513 People who are on stage during a session, 40 00:02:08,513 --> 00:02:11,783 usually agree with being taken in picture, 41 00:02:12,027 --> 00:02:15,297 and what you can also do is ask afterwards-- 42 00:02:15,297 --> 00:02:18,737 you take the picture of people generally doing things 43 00:02:18,737 --> 00:02:20,597 and then you quickly go to them and you ask, 44 00:02:20,597 --> 00:02:22,497 "Is that okay if I publish this?" 45 00:02:22,497 --> 00:02:25,025 This is really important because we want to be more careful 46 00:02:25,025 --> 00:02:26,525 about people's privacy. 47 00:02:26,525 --> 00:02:28,895 We probably don't need pictures 48 00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:31,425 of every single participant of the conference on Commons. 49 00:02:31,425 --> 00:02:35,175 I think we have enough pictures of people typing on computers, 50 00:02:35,175 --> 00:02:38,755 so I will really ask you to follow these rules, 51 00:02:38,755 --> 00:02:41,071 so everyone can feel comfortable at the conference. 52 00:02:44,867 --> 00:02:47,389 So, another important part. 53 00:02:50,142 --> 00:02:54,142 Most of the content of the conference will be live-streamed in this room 54 00:02:54,142 --> 00:02:57,272 and also in the two other session's rooms, Kepler and Einstein. 55 00:02:57,272 --> 00:03:00,882 This is great because that allows people who are not participating 56 00:03:00,882 --> 00:03:03,532 to actually follow the content of the conference 57 00:03:03,532 --> 00:03:05,262 or being able to watch it afterwards. 58 00:03:05,262 --> 00:03:08,922 That's actually for you also if you are afraid of missing a session, 59 00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,503 you can watch it later. 60 00:03:11,144 --> 00:03:15,984 But that also means that people onstage will be filmed and recorded 61 00:03:15,984 --> 00:03:20,997 and also people, for example, walking just in front of the stage 62 00:03:21,313 --> 00:03:23,053 can be recorded as well. 63 00:03:23,053 --> 00:03:26,283 So if you really don't want to appear on camera, 64 00:03:26,283 --> 00:03:29,273 actually, the best spot is to be next to the camera 65 00:03:29,273 --> 00:03:31,473 or slightly behind the camera, depending on the room 66 00:03:31,473 --> 00:03:34,653 because here you're pretty sure that you're not going to be filmed. 67 00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:40,363 And in the room Kepler, don't be surprised when you enter the room 68 00:03:40,363 --> 00:03:42,723 if it looks like the camera is filming the entrance, 69 00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:46,723 it's actually not, the camera is set up so it's not filming people entering, 70 00:03:46,723 --> 00:03:48,423 so you can enter the room, 71 00:03:48,423 --> 00:03:51,233 you can walk around and you won't be streamed. 72 00:03:51,233 --> 00:03:54,793 It's only focused on the speaker who is in this room. 73 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,642 Alright. 74 00:03:58,727 --> 00:04:02,727 So I wanted to have a quick overview of the building together 75 00:04:02,727 --> 00:04:05,537 because we didn't print a floorplan for everyone 76 00:04:05,537 --> 00:04:07,514 in order to avoid too much printing. 77 00:04:07,514 --> 00:04:10,474 And the venue is very nice but it can be also-- 78 00:04:10,474 --> 00:04:13,144 it takes a bit of time to just understand 79 00:04:13,144 --> 00:04:14,204 how it's working. 80 00:04:14,204 --> 00:04:16,034 So, let's go through it very quickly. 81 00:04:16,034 --> 00:04:20,774 You arrive through the main entrance in where the registration is. 82 00:04:20,774 --> 00:04:23,794 This is also where you can come and ask any questions, 83 00:04:23,794 --> 00:04:27,524 and there is also a wardrobe here. 84 00:04:27,524 --> 00:04:30,264 If you want to leave your valuables somewhere safe, 85 00:04:30,264 --> 00:04:31,904 it's a nice place to go. 86 00:04:32,244 --> 00:04:35,154 And this is also where the dining area, 87 00:04:35,154 --> 00:04:37,646 this is also where part of the catering will happen. 88 00:04:38,109 --> 00:04:41,339 If you want to take some fresh air or a cigarette, 89 00:04:41,339 --> 00:04:43,379 you can go out through the main entrance 90 00:04:43,379 --> 00:04:45,339 and also through what is mentioned here, 91 00:04:45,339 --> 00:04:48,393 Emergency Exit, which is the backyard of the venue 92 00:04:48,393 --> 00:04:50,762 that you can access through the ground floor. 93 00:04:51,182 --> 00:04:54,622 And you have various staircases that--be careful of that-- 94 00:04:54,622 --> 00:04:58,012 don't necessarily lead to all the floors in the venue. 95 00:04:58,653 --> 00:05:00,627 But you'll figure that out very soon. 96 00:05:00,627 --> 00:05:05,323 On the first floor where we are right now, these are the three main session rooms. 97 00:05:05,323 --> 00:05:08,663 Let's say the formal part of the program is taking place here. 98 00:05:08,663 --> 00:05:13,173 This is also the dining area that we also call cafeteria sometimes. 99 00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:17,383 It's this place where you'll also be able to have lunch and dinner. 100 00:05:21,725 --> 00:05:23,715 Then on the second floor, 101 00:05:23,715 --> 00:05:28,075 this is the part where the self-organized part of the program takes place, 102 00:05:28,075 --> 00:05:30,135 which is also going to be very interesting. 103 00:05:30,135 --> 00:05:32,295 So in Edison, you have a hacking space 104 00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:35,185 where you can go anytime during the opening hours 105 00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:38,539 and just sit down and work on some stuff. 106 00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:41,322 You're going to have the workshop room Darwin 107 00:05:42,119 --> 00:05:45,829 just next to it, and going to have this nice Newton room 108 00:05:45,829 --> 00:05:48,509 that is really made for just relaxing, discussing, 109 00:05:48,509 --> 00:05:51,270 having all kinds of informal discussion. 110 00:05:51,558 --> 00:05:55,048 And you have an extra meetup room that is called Austen. 111 00:05:55,048 --> 00:05:58,544 Some stuff is already planned in there, some stuff can still be planned, 112 00:05:58,967 --> 00:06:01,689 feel free to walk around, there are also some posters. 113 00:06:01,865 --> 00:06:05,681 This is also where some exciting things are going to happen tonight, 114 00:06:05,681 --> 00:06:06,851 during the evening. 115 00:06:06,851 --> 00:06:09,870 So feel free to make sure that you check the second floor. 116 00:06:11,243 --> 00:06:14,363 And finally, the third floor is not going to be widely used, 117 00:06:14,363 --> 00:06:17,313 but I wanted to mention that we have a quiet room in the venue 118 00:06:17,313 --> 00:06:20,563 where you can go and take a nap, take some rest, 119 00:06:20,563 --> 00:06:24,135 just escape a bit from the noise and a lot of social interaction, 120 00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:29,204 so you can access it through the stairs in the corner, 121 00:06:29,204 --> 00:06:32,590 and you can reach the room Curie which is the quiet room. 122 00:06:33,386 --> 00:06:36,534 This is also where tomorrow morning 123 00:06:37,407 --> 00:06:39,827 the yoga and meditation session will take place, 124 00:06:39,827 --> 00:06:42,101 but I will talk more about this in a minute. 125 00:06:43,253 --> 00:06:47,843 Please, mind that we have elevators, however, we'll want to make sure 126 00:06:47,843 --> 00:06:50,093 that they are available for people who really need it. 127 00:06:50,684 --> 00:06:52,724 So, if you are able to take the stairs, 128 00:06:52,724 --> 00:06:55,854 I would like to ask you to take the stairs. 129 00:06:56,542 --> 00:07:00,542 And at any time, you can find the pictures of these maps 130 00:07:00,624 --> 00:07:03,224 at this URL *map.wikidatacon.org*, 131 00:07:03,452 --> 00:07:06,408 so you will never get lost. 132 00:07:06,408 --> 00:07:09,038 Also, if you are really lost you can ask someone, 133 00:07:09,038 --> 00:07:11,529 especially people wearing green T-shirts like me 134 00:07:11,529 --> 00:07:14,357 who can help you figure out your way in the venue. 135 00:07:16,771 --> 00:07:19,791 So as I said, at the info desk you can ask any question, 136 00:07:19,791 --> 00:07:22,874 you also have the Lost & Found box if necessary. 137 00:07:22,874 --> 00:07:26,306 You can get some stuff printed if you really need it, 138 00:07:26,306 --> 00:07:30,306 and for the scholars, this is also where the reimbursement is going to happen. 139 00:07:30,374 --> 00:07:32,044 Be aware it's going to run until noon, 140 00:07:32,044 --> 00:07:34,444 after that, it's going to be more complicated, 141 00:07:34,444 --> 00:07:37,916 so if you have some stuff to get reimbursed, please, do it soon. 142 00:07:38,179 --> 00:07:41,913 There is also a wardrobe that is open at the opening times of the venue, 143 00:07:41,913 --> 00:07:44,229 so feel free to leave your valuables there. 144 00:07:44,229 --> 00:07:47,519 Anything you don't need, actually, for the conference is very safe there. 145 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:51,879 Just don't forget to take them back when you leave on Saturday. 146 00:07:54,388 --> 00:07:56,998 Then, I am not going to go through the whole schedule 147 00:07:56,998 --> 00:07:58,657 because if you already had a look at it 148 00:07:58,657 --> 00:08:01,227 it's very full of a lot of interesting stuff. 149 00:08:01,227 --> 00:08:04,737 I just wanted to mention some important things. 150 00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:08,234 So today until 11, the things are going to take place only here, 151 00:08:08,234 --> 00:08:11,494 and after that the rooms will one after the other open, 152 00:08:11,797 --> 00:08:15,397 and the venue is open until midnight today. 153 00:08:15,397 --> 00:08:19,097 Tomorrow we open the doors at 8:30, 154 00:08:19,097 --> 00:08:21,990 and then the first session starts at 10, just like today. 155 00:08:23,121 --> 00:08:26,941 At 2 p.m, we are going to have the group photo 156 00:08:26,941 --> 00:08:29,111 in the backyard of the venue if everything goes right, 157 00:08:29,111 --> 00:08:32,221 you will get some reminders about this when the time comes. 158 00:08:32,221 --> 00:08:35,551 The rooms will start closing at 6:30 159 00:08:35,551 --> 00:08:39,281 and then, tomorrow, the venue is closing at 8:30. 160 00:08:39,715 --> 00:08:43,115 So make sure that you get everything you need before that. 161 00:08:44,890 --> 00:08:46,880 So, again, you can have a look at the program 162 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,260 either on *program.wikidatacon.org* 163 00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,120 or *mobile.wikidatacon.org* 164 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,097 for the awesome mobile version that we have. 165 00:08:56,740 --> 00:09:00,270 Now, let's talk a bit about food because that's important. 166 00:09:01,239 --> 00:09:04,452 Today and tomorrow, we will offer you lunch and dinner. 167 00:09:05,161 --> 00:09:08,501 It will take place between 1:00 and 2:30 168 00:09:08,501 --> 00:09:12,621 on the ground floor in Arnheim-Foyer 169 00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:16,603 and in the cafeteria dining area that I presented to you earlier 170 00:09:16,603 --> 00:09:19,480 and dinner between 6:30 and 20:00. 171 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,180 I am really glad to tell you 172 00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:24,840 that we decided to have fully vegetarian meals 173 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,583 for this edition of the conference. 174 00:09:26,583 --> 00:09:27,773 (cheers) 175 00:09:27,773 --> 00:09:29,724 Of course-- Thank you. 176 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Of course, a vegan version will be available, 177 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,460 and we tried to make sure that it's suitable for everyone 178 00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:38,560 so if you have any specific needs feel free to ask the staff there, 179 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:40,931 and they will make sure that you get something to eat. 180 00:09:41,445 --> 00:09:43,425 You will also get something to drink, 181 00:09:43,425 --> 00:09:47,515 of course, warm and cold drinks are available at anytime, 182 00:09:47,515 --> 00:09:49,875 and we'll also have some snack breaks. 183 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,980 And as usual in Wikimedia events, we have a sweets table 184 00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:58,590 so if you ever brought some candies from your home region, 185 00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:01,800 you can put them down there on the counter basically 186 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,020 at the end of the counter right down in there, 187 00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:09,833 and also try some interesting stuff that the other people brought. 188 00:10:14,033 --> 00:10:18,175 Now, apart from the formal program that is taking place on this floor 189 00:10:18,175 --> 00:10:19,785 and that's getting streamed, 190 00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:22,335 we also have a lot of self-organized things 191 00:10:22,335 --> 00:10:25,385 that's happening because I think the core of the conference 192 00:10:25,385 --> 00:10:27,905 is actually between the interaction with people 193 00:10:27,905 --> 00:10:30,745 and all the spontaneous or not so spontaneous meetups 194 00:10:30,745 --> 00:10:32,035 that are happening, 195 00:10:32,035 --> 00:10:35,475 and people gathering around topics that they all care about. 196 00:10:35,713 --> 00:10:37,493 So, we have the hacking room for that 197 00:10:37,493 --> 00:10:40,473 that's going to be open as much as possible. 198 00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:42,783 There are tables there that have a number, 199 00:10:42,783 --> 00:10:46,773 so you can just sit down at the table at some point and tell all the people, 200 00:10:46,773 --> 00:10:50,093 "Hey, I'm table No. 5 and I am working on-- 201 00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:55,751 I don't know--importing data about this topic.

point. 270 00:14:44,152 --> 00:14:48,760 So we have a few discussion channels, we have, for example, a Telegram channel. 271 00:14:48,881 --> 00:14:51,271 You can use the #WikidataCon 272 00:14:51,271

to actually add your name on the back of the wallet-- 283 00:15:33,811 --> 00:15:35,308 there is a space for that-- 284 00:15:35,308 --> 00:15:38,848 because since you're now 250 people having the same wallet in the room-- 285 00:15:38,848 --> 00:15:39,887 (laughing) 286 00:15:39,887 --> 00:15:42,877 if I find a wallet on the table and there is no name, 287 00:15:42,877 --> 00:15:47,319 I have no clue of whose is that, so please do that before it's too late. 288 00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:52,303 Alright. 289 00:15:54,483 --> 00:15:57,433 We have--since we are all here interested in Wikidata, 290 00:15:57,433 --> 00:15:59,774 and Wikibase, of course we want to talk to you 291 00:15:59,774 --> 00:16:00,990 about these topics. 292 00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:03,084 We want to gather your input 293 00:16:03,084 --> 00:16:06,794 on what should be the future of Wikidata and Wikibase. 294 00:16:06,794 --> 00:16:09,243 So, in general, the whole event it is actually made for that 295 00:16:09,243 --> 00:16:12,093 but there are some specific sessions that can be interesting. 296 00:16:12,093 --> 00:16:15,993 We have a workshop today that is called, "Envisioning Wikidata in the future." 297 00:16:16,741 --> 00:16:20,061 It's a two-hour workshop and I want to tell you right now, 298 00:16:20,061 --> 00:16:23,451 the idea of this workshop is that you attend to the whole two hours 299 00:16:23,451 --> 00:16:26,331 so there is no "can I come only for the first hour" 300 00:16:26,331 --> 00:16:27,711 or something like this. 301 00:16:27,711 --> 00:16:30,531 It's an experience in itself so you have to go there. 302 00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:33,411 There are still some spaces free, 303 00:16:33,411 --> 00:16:37,552 so feel free to just go the room when you arrive. 304 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,962 We also have a booth that is dedicated to user experience 305 00:16:41,962 --> 00:16:46,918 and my colleagues here will be there to talk with you about Wikidata features 306

interviews about various Wikidata features. 309 00:16:56,109 --> 00:17:01,599 And if you want to talk about anything related to Wikidata and Wikibase strategy, 310 00:17:01,599 --> 00:17:05,069 I have

00:17:38,838 --> 00:17:42,278 where basically the clock is going to go backward of one hour. 323 00:17:42,278 --> 00:17:44,618 So if you want to attend an event, 324 00:17:44,618 --> 00:17:47,828 or
