First, the user group, along with our fiscal sponsor Wikimedia Indonesia, applied for a grant ([[Grants:Programs/Wikimedia Community Fund/Conference Fund/Wikisource Conference 2024]]). It was proposed in September 2024 but was moved to February 2025. Then, several teams were set up to organize the conference (a core team, a scholarship team and a program team).
