This month's regular meeting of the Wikibase Community User Group is set to be held today, Thursday, February 23 @16:00 UTC (17:00 Berlin): https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession
The focus of today's meeting is data modelling, which was highlighted as a topic of interest in the recent Wikibase.cloud user research:

If you have examples of modelling issues you resolved (or want to resolve) in Wikibase, or tools, articles or presentations you found useful, you're welcome to provide details in today's Etherpad:
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2023.02.23>
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2023.02.23 or simply drop in to talk about them.
Due to illness, WMDE's Valerie can't facilitate today's meeting, but we can still get some good discussions going. If anyone has other topics to discuss, we'll have some time at the end too.
Hope to see you there later,

Hey dear Community,
have a look at the survey results from our last UX research. You'll find
them here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibase_Cloud_UX_Research.pdf.
As you can see, Data Modeling is one of the biggest issues to date. We
would like to tackle this and have more in-depth interviews with some of
you.
Who of you would be open to having such a conversation?
Thanks for your participation again, this was really insightful!
Best,
Valerie Wollinger

Dear Community,
Some might have already read in Telegram: I would like to write a blog
series and interview you during these next months.
Why?
I figured that there is no place yet that displays a Wikibase use cases
more 'in depth' and explain how they are used. There is the registry
<https://wikibase-registry.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page>, yes, but I envision
a conversational format in which one can talk about how they use their
Wikibase and what types of content they are that interested in.
In my ideal world, this can plant seeds for new conversations among you,
but also open doors for new people to get to know Wikibase (better) and
find like-minded people who make use of it as well.
My plan is to see who's interested to talk first, set up a weekly schedule
and start writing. The posts should not be longer than 600–700 words and I
will ask for your approval, of course, before I publish them via:
https://tech-news.wikimedia.de/.
I would like to know who of you might be interested to have such
conversation.
If so, you can write me a direct message.
I'm looking forward to this! :-)
Best,
Valerie Wollinger

Hey dear community,
we will be performing maintenance on ElasticSearch. As part of this, some
functionality might be disrupted. In order of increasing impact but
decreasing likelihood, the following things might happen:
- search results might be out of date
- search would stop working entirely
- the service might go down entirely
The engineering team is focusing on this topic. We anticipate any outages
as they happen, but if you're worried we have missed something, let us know!
