O que é a Wikimania?

Wikimania 2014 was a 2000+ person conference, festival, meetup, workshop, hackathon, and celebration, spread over five days in August 2014, preceded and followed by fringe events. Wikimania is the official annual event of the Wikimedia movement, where one can discover all kinds of projects that people are making with wikis and open content, as well as meet the community that produced the most famous wiki of all, Wikipedia!

O evento principal acontecerá dentro e aos redores do The Barbican Centre em Londres, Reino Unido. Todos são bem vindos, seja você um expert, entusiasta, iniciante ou apenas curioso!



State of the Wiki
An annual update on the Wikimedia projects

Wikipedia is a household name — in fact, it’s now one of the five most popular websites in the world, clocking over 21 billion hits every month. With over 110m pages across 287 languages, and a dozen sister projects including dictionaries, newspapers, multimedia repositories and travelguides, it's come a long way since its founding in 2001; the community has grown, the technology has developed, and the organisation has matured. However, there are still sweeping changes to come. more…


Colaboração Digital:
Como as ferramentas de software podem liberar nosso potencial?

Os Projetos Wikimedia têm hoje mais de 21 bilhões de visitas por mês do seu conteúdo, criado de maneira colaborativa por mais de trinta milhões de contribuintes, colocando-o entre os cinco sites de todo o mundo e uma das maiores comunidades on-line. Como uma comunidade desse tamanho funciona e como ela tem lidado com esse crescimento? more…

The Future of Education
Now that Wikipedia's done everyone's homework, what's left to teach?

To the exasperation of many teachers, Wikipedia is the first port of call for millions of students from primary school to university. Its sheer convenience is challenging standard pedagogical approaches that implicitly assume information is scarce and difficult to duplicate. What if teachers asked students to contribute to Wikipedia instead? more…


Open Data
What can we build when the sum of all human knowledge is machine readable?

Wikidata is a new project of the Wikimedia Foundation: a free, collaborative, multilingual, secondary database, collecting structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, the other Wikimedia projects, and well beyond that. This may become one of the best open data repositories on Earth — what can we do with it? more…


Open Scholarship
What happens when the cutting edge of human knowledge is available to all?

In 2013 alone over 500,000 pieces of scholarly research were made open access, across all disciplines — an unprecedented number. These are all citable in Wikipedia, meaning they can be integrated into the encyclopaedia, contextualised and made discoverable by anyone in the world with an internet connection. This level of accessibility of cutting edge research has never existed before in history, and the possible outcome of empowering citizen scientists and opening up academia in this way is beyond reckoning. more…


Democratic Media
Must all media be commercially driven?

Media performs an essential political, social, economic, and cultural function in modern democracies. In such societies, media are the principal source of political information and access to public debate, and the key to an informed, participating, self-governing citizenry. Democracy requires a media system that provides people with a wide range of opinion and analysis and debate on important issues, reflects the diversity of citizens, and promotes public accountability of the powers-that-be and the powers-that-want-to-be. There is a growing sense that the growth of the Internet has not paid the democratic dividends that it could. more…
