ウィキマニア:意思表明
Expression of Interest for Future Wikimanias
ウィキマニア運営委員会では、コミュニティのグループと地域の提携団体の皆さんに定期のウィキマニア開催について意思表明（EOI）をされるよう呼びかけています。このページは今後の開催年をめぐる一般的な関心を示したり対話を始めるために使う場であり、直近の開催回をめぐるやり取りはメニューをご覧ください。
ウィキマニアとは例年開催の国際的なカンファレンスであり、ウィキメディア運動の参加者を集めて共同作業や学び、無償の知識を称賛しようと促します。イベントは運営委員会の主導のもと、ボランティアの皆さんによる主催者チームが開催実務を担当し、またウィキメディア財団に属する運動広報チーム（Movement Communications team）がしっかり支援します。
ウィキマニアを主催する意義とは？
皆さんのコミュニティにとってウィキマニアの開催は特定の地域と関わり協力を促しつつ、グローバルなウィキメディア運動に貢献できるユニークな機会となります。協働する環境を介してつながった人たちにはやりがいをもたらし、ウィキメディアのプロジェクト群が世界にどんなインパクトを及ぼすか注目する機会でもあります。
スケジュール
ウィキマニア運営委員会では定期的に開催地の立候補表明を公表しています。当委員会ではウィキマニアの仕組みや主催の要件に関して、年間を通じて個人の皆さんとのやりとりを歓迎しておりますが、以下に示す対話の機会では集団から立候補の正式な意思表明を受け付けています。
（ウィキマニア2028の開催地立候補の募集は準備中）
募集の主旨
We welcome Wikimedia community groups and regional collaborations that are enthusiastic and capable of managing the logistical and organizational responsibilities of hosting this large-scale conference. The specifics may differ year to year, which will be explained in the Call for Expressions of Interest; but there are a few key factors that will generally be considered:
提案
The proposal should highlight the benefits of hosting Wikimania in the proposed region, such as activating local communities and establishing strategic partnerships in the host country. Innovative, "out-of-the-box" proposals are encouraged, as long as they provide alternative value to the Wikimedia movement by promoting programming concepts aligned with the movement's strategic goals. Additionally, the proposal should include a goal and vision for how the conference could leverage a project or address an issue relevant to the hosting team, country, or region.
Factors we will be looking at:
- Capacity to organize: A core team of local or regional volunteers involved with the Wikimedia movement will be responsible for organizing the conference. This team will be supported by the Wikimania Steering Committee, the Wikimedia Foundation, and professional event organizers
- Location suitability: The expression of interest does not require an exact city or venue to be identified at this stage.
- Safety and security: Ensuring the personal safety of all participants is the highest priority, requiring a welcoming environment that respects diverse identities, expressions, affiliations, races, genders, and abilities. Additionally, freedom of expression is essential; local laws and government policies must not expose participants to undue risk due to their association with the movement.
- Global rotation: We aim to balance hosting locations across different regions to ensure global representation and participation.
渡航とビザ
- It is ideal for the proposed location to be close to an international airport and not require extensive travel upon arrival. Please keep in mind international travelers.
- An easy, accessible visa process is key to international participation.
- This could mean few visa restrictions, accessible electronic visas, or embassies / agencies found in many global cities Wikimedians would be traveling from.
- Contact with the relevant government department to facilitate the visa process is welcomed.
ハイブリッド形式とリモート参加者
The hybrid format is expected in every edition. This will likely require collaboration with volunteers from other regions, and may be shaped after a formal bid is accepted.
- Seamless virtual integration with in-person components is a high priority for Wikimania as a hybrid conference.
- Make sure your proposal talks about how Wikimedians will be able to remotely participate at Wikimania.
ウィキマニア主催をめぐる一般的な意思表明
If your group is ready to take on the honor and challenge of hosting Wikimania, we encourage you to submit an expression of interest. Also when there is no active call for expressions of interest, this is a great way to collect energy, find partners and make sure that you're informed when the Call is published. The exact location is not as important at this stage. Make sure to consult with your local community before publishing your interest here and link to a page where people can discuss more.
