[WCNA] WikiConference North America is planned for Indianapolis from Oct 3-6, 2024, at Indiana University (IUPUI). The organizers are meeting regularly, in a general meeting and separate program meeting. The program is now online. Scholarships have been granted. A big topic to be worked out is what interpretation services we can offer, and to what extent -- oral interpretation, captions online, oral interpretation online, es <=> en only, and perhaps French too? It'll have online attendees too, mainly on zoom, and probably several sessions streamed to YouTube also.
Wikimedia Francophone conference will be in Quebec City from Oct 31 to Nov 3, organized by Wikimedia Canada. It'll have at least one zoom channel.
[Wikimania] 2024 was held in Katowice, Poland this month; if time permits we'll discuss it at the NARWHAL meeting.
[WCNA] WMNY will apply for a WMF grant to support a WCNA 2025 to be held in New York City.
