Sessions I am planning to attend

• All times in Eastern Daylight Time, i.e. local time in Montreal. Sometimes, the list has several options (find out why). Sessions I am involved in running are marked in bold. For full program, see Programme, which also has location info. Some sessions will be live streamed. Besides the collaborative session notes, I will mainly be using Twitter for communicating during the conference, whose hashtag is #Wikimania (some people also use #Wikimania2017).
