Dear community,
We hope you all had a great summer, wherever you were and however you spent
it.
We’re also back here, united and ready to take on some new challenges! But
before, we have some great news and surprises to share with you. That’s why
we will host a live session this Thursday!
There will be some news around our current beta state of Wikibase Cloud, an
invention to explore each other’s projects, and good news about a fixed
issue that some of you had troubles with in the past.
Now, where and when do we meet? Surprisingly, not much has changed here.
Our Jitsi space stays the same and the etherpad doc is also almost what it
used to be.
Time: 4:00 pm UTC (UTC+2 for Berlin)
Day: Thursday 28th September 2023
Jitsi: https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession
Notes: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/P/WBUG_2023_09_28
Looking forward to seeing you again!
Cheers

Dear community,
I recently spoke to GreenReaper about his experience with Wikibase Cloud
and the development of WikiFur <https://furry.wikibase.cloud>. Take a look
at his journey in this article

Hi dear community,
I would like to cancel this week's live session and create more space to
re-orient the way we hold space for them.
The reason why is that I would like to make them a resourceful event for
all of you that strive to learn more about how Wikibase works and how to
make use of the tools available.
I created this docs
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikibase_Live_Session__topics_of_interest>to
collect your topics of interest and potential knowledge gaps.
Soon after, I will review them and look for experts that can elaborate on
the different topics and share their insights with you.
If you have other ideas or suggestions for the way we could improve the
live sessions, please share them with me here or in a direct message. :-)
Best!

Hey everyone,
tomorrow it's time again for another Wikibase Live Session!
I will share early insights from the Suite survey that some of you have
filled out.. Other than that, I'd like to give space for documentation
feedback and, potentially, identify more needs from your side. Lastly,
it'd be great to talk about what or if you are planning Wikibase activities
with your (local) (groups) this year. Are there any workshops or gatherings
planned, or is there something you'd like to realize?
I'm looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible!
