Hi everyone,

Our next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will be held on Wednesday, July 12th 2023 at 16:00 UTC (18:00 Berlin) in the Wikidata Telegram group.

The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what we have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.

Pardon my ignorance, as I only attended partly one of the Office hour events on telegram (while this might have been addressed), but I am still confused as to what are the benefits of this Live event format if it is text based *(just like regular telegram chat) and includes presentations that can easily be pre-recorded...no? I appreciate that it exists as some of the key people show up, but why not on jitsi *(so exchange can be visual and sonic)+why not in multi-threaded text chat *(so that topics and interest sub-groups can branch out)? Maybe this is only for developers and not me as a user, so I should not even be in the target audience? If so, could you add DEV to the name? ;-)

Best Z. Blace

 

We hope to see you there.
