Hi List!
Apologies for cross-posting.
The upcoming Wikidata Leveling Up Days program is published with some parts
that I think can be very interesting to people working with cultural
heritage and wikidata - sessions on openrefine, mix'n'match, SPARQL and the
query service etc. Sessions are (pre-)recorded in case the timing doesn't
suit - the live sessions are an offer to discuss the content with the
people responsible.
Thanks!
Lucy

Subject: [Wikidata] Save the date - Wikidata Leveling Up Days, April 5-7
and 12-14
To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
The Wikidata Leveling Up Days
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024> are a
series of online events and a collection of useful contents to help people
get on board with Wikidata. The events will take place from April 5th to
7th and from April 12th to 14th, and will include a wide variety of
presentations, workshops and discussions covering the basics of Wikidata:
get started, browse and query Wikidata, enhance your editing experience,
ensure data quality, and connect Wikidata with sister projects.
The event will give the occasion to both new and seasoned editors to get
together and exchange ideas and tips. Some sessions are already planned in
the schedule, but the program is open: community trainers and organizers
are welcome to schedule their own self-organized sessions, at the time that
suits them best, and in the language that would be accessible to their
peers. If you’re interested in scheduling your own session, you’ll find
guidance on this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Get_involved>
.
The Leveling Up Days are also a collection of introduction videos, recorded
in advance with experienced Wikidata editors, that will soon be available
online. We will make sure that the videos are available ahead of the event,
so people can watch them at their own pace. The videos will include
translatable captions, so you will be able to help us make this useful
content accessible to a wide range of Wikidata newcomers.
The online event is open to everyone without registration, but if you’re
interested in attending, feel free to sign up here
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Participants>.
You can also join our help desk channel
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Help_desk>
where we will have Q&A sessions.
And last but not least: please help us reach out to people who may be
interested in learning more about Wikidata: feel free to share or transfer
this message to the channels, mailing-lists and groups where it could be
relevant.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
See you around at the Leveling Up Days!
Best,
