2020


This report focuses on Wikimedia Portugal's activities from January 1 to December 31, 2020.

The WHO statement of the COVID-19 Pandemic on March 11, 2020 and the declarations by the President of the Portuguese Republic of subsequent calamity and emergency states, with varying restrictions on mobility and freedom of assembly, substantially limited the holding of planned events for 2020, most notably the international Wikidata Days 2020 conference, which had to be postponed to 2021. The uncertainty regarding the course of the epidemiological curve, and the measures that would be adopted by the government, and the serious disturbance to the normal life of the members and potential participants in activities, made it impossible to plan activities over the course of this year. That said, it was still possible to successfully carry out WikiCon Portugal (a long-held wish of Wikimedia Portugal to hold a national conference) even before the declaration of the pandemic, and the Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments photo contests, in addition to participating in some punctual online conferences and events.

For the first time in its history, Wikimedia Portugal organized a National Conference, WikiCon Portugal, which took place from 17 to 19 January 2020, at Casa do Infante, classified as a National Monument, in Porto. It had the participation of about 40 people, and included lectures, practical workshops and debates, as well as a guided tour of the Casa do Infante Museum. On the occasion of Wikipedia's 19 years and Wikimédia Portugal's 10 years, WikiCon Portugal 2020 wanted to celebrate the community that took on the mission of each human being being able to freely share the sum of all knowledge. The objective of the first edition of WikiCon Portugal was to develop community capacities. It had the support of the Wikimedia Foundation, which financed the participation of Asaf Bartov, and the travel grants of the participants; and of the Porto City Council, which kindly made the Casa do Infante auditorium available for the lectures. We also have to thank the Maus Hábitos space for providing a room to hold a workshop.
