The following are a list of responsibilities that we have currently envisioned for Wikimania 2023 to support an hybrid conference. There may be changes as preparations for the conference progress. We may call upon more volunteers from the community to help support the hybrid conference if necessary.
For any clarifications, please use the talk page and ping User:Robertsky as well for attention.
For travelling to Singapore for the onsite conference, Tech Subcommittee members are encouraged to apply for Travel Scholarship, or obtain scholarships through their local chapters/user groups. Approval for Travel Scholarship is managed by the Scholarship Committee.

注意事項
We are expecting the platform(s) involved to be:
- easy to use/setup by participants, event moderators and admins, (sub-)committee members and/or involved WMF staff;
- respect primarily Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act and Europe's General Data Protection Regulation. The former due to the event is primarily hosted in Singapore, and the latter due to data of EU citizens;
- where the overall user experience will not be affected, free and open source software
To this end, we have prepared a Request for Proposal (RfP) in which details and features of the platform(s) we are looking for. The RfP will be shared to interested parties/vendors for their considerations. The Subcomittee members may also propose solutions for individual platforms. We may end up using a mix of vendors/solutions for what is hopefully an optimal setup.
成果
The recommendations that the Subcommittee put forth will be strongly considered by the COT and WMF. However, there may be changes/variations to the final setup due to, in addition to the points in Considerations section above, budget and other possible reasons.
