<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events#Office_hours> is scheduled

hour will happen in the Wikidata Telegram group

*What's the Wikidata+Wikibase office hour?*
*The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the
development team at WMDE presents what we have been working on over the
past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss

Make sure to note the date in your calendars.
Cheers,

As usual, there will be a meeting today for members of the Wikibase Community User Group online at https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession at 15:00 UTC (16:00 London, 17:00 Berlin, 11:00 US Eastern).
The draft agenda for this month is at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2024_06_27 - feel free to add to it if you have anything else you wish to raise.
This month we will have some time to discuss the proposed Wikimedia Movement Charter, and ideally decide on whether to vote to ratify it as an affiliate, though a final decision and any comments do not need to be submitted until July 9. If you have time, it'd be best to take a look at the links in the agenda in advance; it goes into the proposed Global Council in some depth.
I'm also told there will be a "surprise demo". It's a surprise to me, too; so I guess we'll all just have to see what it is!
If you missed last month and want to catch up, here's the notes:

Hope to see you there,

Dear Community,
I shared this research before but wanted to shed light on it again.
Have you already looked at the outcomes of our Knowledge Equity in Linked
Open Data Research
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq…>?
Users who engage with Wikidata and Wikibase taught us more about their
needs as well as their ideas to foster a Linked Open Data web that holds
space for pluralities of knowledge.
You can learn more about their perspectives and identified opportunities in
this comprehensive presentation of outcomes:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq…
If you would like to have more conversations about knowledge equity, please
let me know, so I can take note of you and come up with a format in which
we can dive into this together in more depth.
Have a lovely rest of the week!

Dear Community,
here's an interesting event coming up, especially for those of you working
with languages. :-)
This weekend there's going to be the *Wikidata Lexicodays*.
During the event there will be presentations, discussions and workshops for
users that are interested in Lexicodata or work with it already.
In this event, you will learn how to describe and model words in Wikidata,
discover useful tools to edit lexicographical data, and improve modelling
in various languages, with a focus on languages in Indonesia.
The event is taking place online across different time zones.
See event page here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Lexicodays_2024
Enjoy :-)

Hey everyone,
We would like to learn more about why users choose Wikibase over Wikidata.
We set up this very short and comprehensive survey:
https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Choosing-Wikibase.
Please fill it in when you can.
Thanks so much for your help!

Hi to all, WBSG (https://wbstakeholder.group/) and DARIAH (https://dariah.eu/) are exploring possibilities of providing professional support to Wikibase users in the Digital Humanities and GLAM context. First step is a survey in order to find out whether there is a critical mass of users in that community. Please consider taking part in the survey (about 5 minutes), also if you are not in DH/GLAM:
https://www.dariah.eu/2024/06/04/dariah-eu-and-wikibase-stakeholder-group-l…
Please help to share this information to anybody using Wikibase (in an academic or GLAM context). Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
David

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
