Announcing the workshop internally in WMF
The template used in 2018 is below:

Hi all,

This is an announcement that we are co-organizing [0] the annual Wiki Workshop [1] in 2018 for the fifth time. The workshop will take place on April 24, 2018 in Lyon, France and as part of The Web Conference 2018 [2]. We have started the invitations for invited talks and quite thrilled about the line-up so far. [3]

Over the past years, the workshop has served as the platform for bringing together the researchers of Wikimedia projects and creating a pathway for direct communication, exchange of ideas, and brainstorming towards future research projects and collaborations [4] between Wikimedia Foundation and researchers in academia and industry.

If you'd like to attend the workshop, please remember that early bird registration for the conference (where the workshop is part of) is on 2018-02-21 [5]. We also want to encourage those of you who do research (loosely defined, ping us if you are in doubt) to submit your ongoing or completed research to the workshop. [6] The call for papers is now out [7] and we have two deadlines for receiving submissions (2018-01-28 and 2018-03-11). [8] Also, if there are people in your network that do research on Wikimedia projects, please consider encouraging them to submit. :)

If you have questions about the workshop, please feel free to reach out to Dario or myself.

Best, Leila ​ [0] In collaboration with our co-organizers at EPFL and Stanford University.
