Dear ones,
Where might I get or mirror a dump of Commons media files?
> It seems worth mentioning on the front page of
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/
> It looks like the compressed XML of the ~50M description pages is ~25GB.
> It looks like wiki-team set up a dump script that posted monthly dumps to
the internet archive; in 2013 it stopped include the month+year in the
title; in 2016 it stopped altogether.

Hi everyone!
Next Monday and Tuesday, we have one more GLAM & Culture office hours by
the WMF GLAM team. These ones will be about Structured Data on Commons.
There will be a meeting on *Monday, 26 April, 3.30 pm - 4.30 pm UTC*,
followed by another on *Tuesday, 27 April, 11.00 am - 12.00 pm UTC*.
On the first day, Carly Bogen, the Foundation's Program Manager for
Structured Data, will talk about the new Media Search, Image
Recommendations, and provide updates on the Structured Data Across
Wikimedia project. Jennie Choi, General Manager of Collection Information
for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will also present her process of batch
uploading Structured Data on Commons.
On the second day, John Sampson Tiberius Cummings, Wikimedian in Residence
at UNESCO, and Alicia Fagerving, Developer at Wikimedia Sverige (WMSE),
will share Wikimedia Sweden's plans with Structured Data, GLAM content, and
Wiki Loves Monuments.
