| description = This Conversation Hour features [[:meta:user:Pavan santhosh.s| Pavan Santhosh]], an experienced Wikimedian and open knowledge practitioner who has been actively contributing to the Telugu Wikipedia and its sister projects since 2015. He has worked extensively across Indian Wikimedia communities, supporting community growth, capacity building, and collaboration. From April 2023 to April 2025, he was the Program Associate for the [https://cis-india.org/a2k Access To Knowledge (A2K)] program, where he played a key role in strengthening Wikimedia communities in India. He was part of the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy process as a Co-Coordinator for Community Health. Currently, he serves as the Program Manager for the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IIITH-OKI Open Knowledge Initiatives at IIIT Hyderabad], continuing his work at the intersection of open knowledge, communities, and institutions. He also formally worked with the Community Manager (Telugu) at Quora, who contributed to the launch and growth of the Telugu platform through community engagement and localization efforts later served as a Legal Support Specialist, supporting platform processes and trust-related operations.

 

In this conversation, Pavan will focus on reimagining how Wikimedia communities engage and collaborate beyond the movement, moving past traditional outreach models toward more meaningful and reciprocal partnerships. He will also emphasize the importance of understanding the needs, priorities, and contexts of external communities—rather than merely inviting them to contribute—so that collaborations are built on shared goals and mutual benefit. Further, the conversation will address open licensing, re-licensing, and knowledge sharing practices, with a particular focus on how academic institutions, archives, libraries, and galleries can be encouraged to participate willingly in open knowledge creation by responsibly opening up their collections. Through these reflections, the session aims to foster dialogue on sustainable, inclusive, and two-way collaborations that strengthen the open knowledge ecosystem beyond Wikimedia.

In this conversation, Pavan will focus on reimagining how Wikimedia communities engage and collaborate beyond the movement, moving past traditional outreach models toward more meaningful, reciprocal partnerships.

|description=This Conversation Hour features Puthiya Purayil Sneha, a Senior Research Manager for the Open Knowledge Initiatives (OKI) Program at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH). She formerly worked with the Centre for Internet and Society for more than a decade. She is a researcher working in the areas of digital media and cultures, open knowledge, arts and humanities scholarship and pedagogy, gender, and digital rights.

In this conversation, Sneha will reflect on the evolving landscape of the digital knowledge commons, especially in the context of expanding digitisation efforts and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. She will discuss how ongoing archival and open knowledge projects contribute to sustaining the commons, the emerging challenges related to ownership, access, and ethics, and the broader questions about the nature of knowledge creation and dissemination in multilingual contexts. We will also explore how underrepresented Indian languages navigate these technological shifts, the implications for equity and participation, and what these developments mean for the future of open digital knowledge ecosystems.

Active in the Wikimedia movement since 2009, he has contributed extensively to the Arabic Wikipedia and co-founded Wikimedia Levant. Beyond community building, Abbad is the author of The Story of Wikipedia in Arabic (حكاية ويكيبيديا العربية), a Creative Commons–licensed work that documents the growth of Arabic free knowledge online and reflects on the challenges of building collaborative knowledge projects in the region. He has also worked with the Wikimedia Foundation as a Knowledge Manager on the Movement Strategy & Governance team, supporting the development of the Movement Charter and global strategy initiatives.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, where artificial intelligence is transforming how knowledge is produced and consumed, the risks of AI hallucinations and the need for robust fact-checking have never been greater. This session will explore how AI-generated content impacts the reliability of knowledge, the challenges it poses to Wikimedia’s mission of accuracy, and the opportunities to adapt fact-checking practices in the age of AI. Drawing on his unique experiences across Wikimedia, authorship, knowledge strategy, and AI design, Abbad will guide us through these critical questions and help us reflect on how communities can safeguard knowledge integrity.

With over a decade of experience, John has played a key role in initiatives like Wiki4Women and Wikimedia’s collaborations with organizations like WHO, UNEP, and FAO. His work bridges the gap between global institutions and the Wikimedia movement, making him the perfect person to guide us through: What does a Wikimedian in Residence do?

As the Wikimedia movement thrives on collaboration—not just among volunteers, but with institutions that hold vast repositories of knowledge. One powerful bridge between these institutions and the Wikimedia ecosystem is the Wikimedian in Residence (WiR). In this session, John Cummings will make us understand the scope, impact, and challenges of the WiR role as well as how it empowers both Wikimedia communities and institutions to collaborate for the public good.

| description = This Conversation Hour features [https://shanmugapriya.com/ Shanmugapriya], an Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dhanbad. With a background spanning postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Lancaster University, she brings rich international experience to her work. Her research intersects digital humanities, environmental humanities, and digital literature, with a strong interest in how technology mediates cultural expression and knowledge creation. She also serves as an interim executive committee member of [https://dhdharti.in/ DHARTI] (Digital Humanities Alliance for Research and Teaching Innovations) and is a Research Fellow of the Electronic Literature Organization.
 
As knowledge ecosystems increasingly shift online, questions of whose voices are represented, how systemic bias shapes narratives, and how communities can reclaim storytelling spaces become ever more urgent. In this session, we will explore the role of community-driven knowledge in resisting bias, the persistence of exclusionary structures across digital platforms, and the possibilities digital humanities offer for inclusive and equitable participation. Aligned with the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy—particularly the goals of ensuring equity in decision-making, promoting knowledge equity, and innovating in free knowledge practices—this Conversation Hour will invite us to reflect on how Wikimedia communities can challenge systemic bias, amplify marginalized voices, and build more resilient and representative knowledge systems for the future. Drawing on her expertise at the crossroads of literature, technology, and culture, Shanmugapriya will guide us in rethinking the role of narratives in shaping free knowledge and in strengthening Wikimedia’s mission of equity and inclusion.
