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).
Sessions I actually went to are marked like this: Done

Play media

From the session Submissions/Making a real Wikipedia Globe (I am not involved — at least not yet).

This list is very incomplete at the moment — haven't yet managed to go through all submissions, nor to log all I already found exciting. A good place to find submissions of interest to me is Category:Scholarly submissions.

Topics I had considered submitting but finally did not

wikis for kids
WORKSHOP: Unconference session
- looks like there will be unconference sessions every day (in the evenings), which is basically what I want to propose.

Useful links
