This will be the 10th edition of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference!

SMWCon is open to everyone interested in collaborative knowledge creation
using semantic wikis.

The event brings together developers, users, and organizations from the
Semantic MediaWiki
community around the world.

In what is becoming a tradition, we will spend the first day with tutorials
and a workshop for
those who want to learn more about Semantic MediaWiki and build from it.
The second and
the third day of the conference will include talks from the developers and
users of SMW.



HOW TO PARTICIPATE

We have started to form a program of the conference.

Since this is a community driven event, please visit the following wiki
page to get news
about the program, add your name to the attendees list and register your
talk:

It does not have to be formal and/or complete, however, you're welcome to
share more
information about your talk, like a short abstract, and even desirable
length. We are looking
for use cases, updates on existing projects, lightning talks, or even demos.
