This week, we have published the SWIB programme
- on the website (with links to forum): SWIB24 Programme
- on the forum: 👁 SWIB24 programme overview
We also published a longer post about our move to this Discourse forum: Moving SWIB communications to a Discourse forum: motivation, plans & challenges
We have now added a Registration page to the website clarifying the requirements for conference participation:
The SWIB24 conference is free of charge and the live stream will be openly available online.
However, to participate in the online conference and to receive conference updates, please register for the SWIB community forum: SWIB Forum
You also need an account on the SWIB forum in order to register your participation in a workshop (happening on Monday, 25th November). Go to the overview over the seven workshops, choose a workshop and click on the “Going” button on the respective workshop forum page. Watch out to not register for two parallel workshops.
By now, there are more than 222 registrations for the SWIB forum. 
Here is a screenshot of the current site statistics at https://forum.swib.org/about:
In case you wonder, where all those posts and likes can be found: We are not only using the forum for community communication but we also have categories restricted to a group of users where we discuss programme committee internals, and perspectively site-specific internals (e.g. moderation questions) but the most used restricted category currently is about general SWIB organization topics. We are already seeing improvements in these aspects of the communication between organizers with the move to a Discourse forum.
