Hey all,
As part of the Community Resources department at the WMF restructuring the
grants program, they launched a new format: Rapid Grants!
These grants allow for more speedy applications for many of the kinds of
activities needed for GLAM & Library outreach and collaboration
(editathons, meetups, small travel costs, etc). If you have ever thought
about funding for programs:

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid>*
Share awareness about this as broadly as you can -- we want to make sure
more communities know about them, and can take advantage of the shared
movement resources.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson
Hey GLAM-Wiki and Libraries ,
I hope you have seen the below conversation about structured data sets on
commons in open tabular data. As the world of openly published research
data, and data sets to inform graphing and other visualizations on
Wikimedia becomes more important. We can help centralize a lot of open
projects, especially as major research and public cultural heritage work,
like the digital humanities, is using data.
If you get in an opportunity, make sure to weigh in:

Subject: [Research-Internal] Research Group: Yuri on tabular data storage /
graph extension
To: Internal discussion of WMF Research Team <
research-internal(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Yuri Astrakhan <
yastrakhan(a)wikimedia.org>, Internal team communication for the Analytics
team <analytics-internal(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hey all,
I had a chat this morning with Yuri about his work on the Graph extension
and the underlying proposal to build tabular data storage on Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Tabular_d…>.
I am very excited about this proposal (you may remember my rant
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/DataNamespace> on almost the exact same
idea).
Anyway, I invited Yuri to attend our RG
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WMF_Research_Group> meeting this Thursday
at 9:30 PT to give us an overview of the project and see how we could
benefit from / contribute to it. Also copying analytics-internal, who have
been working with Yuri.
Dario
