Joe,
Do you mind if some people from Crossref join the call?
I'm sure you'd be welcome. Our meetings are public, and we're an open-entry user group in any case.
I'm guessing you're most interested in the presentation, but if you want context on the second agenda item, see prior election mailing list threads.
If your team is looking for interactive support getting Wikibase running, the community Telegram group may also be useful (assuming you can get to it): https://t.me/joinchat/HGjGexZ9NE7BwpXzMsoDLA
From the other thread:
I've not yet installed WikiBase, but I'm browsing the mailing list to see if it's worth even trying for my use case. That would be 100 million items and 1 billion statements.
I figure you might be looking into Wikibase with respect to https://www.crossref.org/blog/crossrefs-board-votes-to-adopt-the-principles-... and related pieces?
Wikidata itself, which runs on Wikibase, is almost 100 million items with ~1.25 billion statements: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Statistics https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/stats.php
Wikidata does not run on the docker distribution, but many of its customisations are due to its scale of access, not size, and it uses commodity-level server hardware as outlined here and at the linked pages, which might be useful if you want to try it yourself: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Limits_of_Wikidata#Hardware

Thanks! I assumed it was open but wanted to ask first (I've not participated in the Wikimedia community for a couple of years).
Well spotted! Yes, this is broadly connected to POSI. Though this isn't the first time we've thought of Wikibase. I and other Crossref people, have been at WikiCites past.
Thanks very much for the stats and links. Those Wikidata numbers uncannily mirror ours.
Cheers
Joe
Quick reminder: This is happening later today at 1600 UTC (18:00 Berlin).
See you soon!
