Hi everyone,
I'm Anton, the new product manager for Wikibase Cloud. I've recently joined
the Wikimedia Deutschland team. My goal is to make the service more
approachable and useful ensuring that even more fascinating, impactful and
diverse knowledge can be included into our Wikibase ecosystem.
Right now, I am onboarding to the new role, learning about the product, our
users and the linked open data world. I'm excited to be here and look
forward to connecting with many of you in the coming months. Feel free to
reach out to me with any questions, feedback, or just to say hello.
Best,
Anton

It's that time again - the May meeting of the Wikibase Community User Group! This is your chance to present what you've been doing recently, or ask questions of other members, as well as find out what's going on in Wikibase.
If you're new to the community, you can get to know other members of the community face-to-face, without leaving the comfort of your home or office. (And if you have to, Jitsi has apps for mobile devices, too.)
As usual, we will be meeting online at https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession at 15:00 UTC (16:00 London, 17:00 Berlin), which is just under two hours from now.
The meeting notes are at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2024_05_30 - feel free to add to the agenda if you have anything else you wish to present or discuss.
Hope to see you there,

Dear Wikibase Cloud users,
we have exciting news to share with you!
You mentioned this wish for a longer time already, and I’m pleased to
announce that we came up with something that might solve your need for *greater
transparency* on *current incidents* that might impact your activities on
your Wikibase.
*How so?*
Wikibase Cloud is in its baby steps and still in open beta. We work towards
becoming more stable and reliable, but we do experience hick-ups along the
way.
These hick-ups are often experienced and detected through you or by us.
We wanted to build a *tool that reflects these hick-ups* in* real time* so
that you have a page that you can check whenever you experience unusual
patterns or reactions.
This is why we set up a dedicated status updates page, see
https://wmde.github.io/wikibase-cloud-status/.
This *incident tracker* will most importantly inform you about the
occasions in which you are directly impacted. It will also tell you about
situations that don’t necessarily impact you, but let you learn more about
how the software works and reacts.
We haven’t mentioned that in a while, but we’d like to remind everyone that
we’re working hard towards meeting your needs and offering an
infrastructure that supports you in your endeavors.
Apart from that, we would like to thank you. For being with us, for
spreading the word and for using Wikibase Cloud and thereby working towards
a vision in which we all contribute to the sum of all knowledge.
Have a wonderful rest of the week and see you soon!
Valerie on behalf of Wikibase Cloud
