Abstract & description
[edit source]Abstract
[edit source]A lightning talk is a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes, given at a conference or similar forum. Several lightning talks will usually be delivered by different speakers in a single session, sometimes called a data blitz. Some formats of lightning talk, including PechaKucha and Ignite, involve a specific number of slides that are automatically advanced at fixed intervals. We will be using this method during the showcase.
Description
[edit source]As with every Wikimania, Wikimania Singapore will feature dozens of lightning talks throughout the program. These talks are an opportunity for speakers to showcase their work and ideas to their audience in a concise and impactful 5 or 10 minute session.
This year, in addition to lightning talks throughout the program’s thematic tracks—which will be 10 minutes each and often grouped with other talks on similar topics—there will also be a Lightning Talk Showcase on the main stage during an evening session. Talks within the Lightning Talk Showcase will be on a diverse range of topics and will be limited to 5 minutes each.
The topics on this segment include: ▫ “Wikidata Software Collaboration project, first year retrospective from Wikimedia Indonesia” by Raisha Abdillah ▫ “Cross-Lingual Collaboration: Breaking Language Barriers for Global Knowledge Sharing Irvin Chen, ChatGPT and their human assistant” by Irvin Chen ▫ “Wikipedia et travail : des concepts-clés” by Claudia Andrea Sarralde Pereira, Paul Sutermeister ▫ “The knowledge is there and then ?!” by bachounda

Diversity: The session showcases the diversity of Wikimedia affiliates and communities and their projects and initiatives that address various social, cultural, and policy issues. The session also celebrates the diversity of perspectives, experiences, and approaches that the speakers bring to their work and how they contribute to the Wikimedia movement’s vision of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
Collaboration: The session fosters collaboration among Wikimedia affiliates and communities by providing a platform for them to share their best practices, challenges, and lessons learned from their projects and initiatives. The session also encourages collaboration between the speakers and the participants after the session where they can exchange ideas, feedback, and contacts for further follow-up or partnership.
Future: The session inspires the participants to think about the future of the Wikimedia movement and how they can contribute to its goals and values through their own projects and initiatives. The session also highlights the potential of Wikimedia affiliates and communities to create positive change in their local and global contexts through their work on topics such as community capability building, social service delivery, health equity, and continuous dialogue.
