Hello everyone!
As some of you may know, several developers are currently working on a
project (funded by a Wikimedia grant) to add Structured Data on Wikimedia
Commons functionalities to OpenRefine. See
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OpenRefine for more info :-)
We are making good progress on this project. Many folks in the Wikimedia
community actively use OpenRefine and are interested in these new features.
Because of this interest, the OpenRefine team starts hosting online,
monthly office hours for OpenRefine users from the Wikimedia community. You
can meet and ask questions to other OpenRefine / Wikimedia users here, and
talk to members of the development team. These office hours are informal,
have no set agenda, are held via Zoom but are not recorded. Registration is
not needed.
For now, we have scheduled office hours until the end of June 2022. Time of
the day alternates to accommodate participants from diverse time zones. If
these office hours prove to be popular, we will plan more of these later!
- Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at 9AM UTC
- Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 4PM UTC
- Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at 8AM UTC
- Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 4PM UTC
See

where
we will post the Zoom links. Feel free to drop by :-)
Hope to see many of you there!

your questions!
** When? *Tuesday, February 22, at 15:00-17:00 UTC (check the time in your
timezone) [3].
** For whom?* For anyone who is curious about the current status of SDC
support in OpenRefine!
