Hello everyone,
The eighth workshop on the topic of "How to interact with Wikidata via
Pywikibot" is coming up - it will take place on Friday, October 7th at
16:00 UTC. You can find more details on the workshop and a link to join
here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops#How_to_intera…>
[1].
This workshop will summarise how to access and save information to
Wikidata, including through page generators and queries*, using Pywikibot.
It will also cover the Wikidata conventions about the bot editing,
including the bot approvals process (*queries not included, please bring
your own!). This session will be run by Mike Peel.
To participate in this workshop, you would need basic familiarity with
Wikidata and Pywikibot installation.
We look forward to your participation!
Best,
Srishti

Hi there,
We are currently working on replacing older hardware servers with newer
ones, in particular those dedicated to cloud networking [0].
We have discovered a few shortcomings related mostly to network
interface naming in the newer servers, and the latest openstack version
behaving differently to what it used to be, and also some base operating
system (debian) bugs [1]. Some of these are hardware-dependant and
difficult to reproduce/anticipate in our staging environment.
The result is that we are having a more challenging and noisy migration
than we would like. We already had a few (brief) network outages trying
to introduce the new servers into service.
We'll try to keep things as stable as possible in the next few days
until the migration is completed, but we can't discard having some more
(brief) network outages until we are safely on the other side of the
transition.
I'll send another note when we finish this network maintenance is over.
regards.
