Dear colleagues,
You can now sign up
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/force2019-edinburgh-tickets-61091464214> to
join us for the next installment of the popular, solutions-focused FORCE11
meeting – in Edinburgh October 16-17, with workshops on the 15th.
We’re meeting this year at the historic BT Murrayfield Rugby Stadium. So,
in addition to all the thought-provoking talks and sessions, you’ll also
have the chance to take in a little sport history.
We’ve announced two of our keynotes already – Arfon Smith and Rachel Bruce
<https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019/speakers/keynote-presenters> –
and the Program Committee
<https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019/committee/force2019-committees>
is hard at work on the rest of the program now.
If you’ve enjoyed past FORCE11 meetings, or haven’t made it to one yet but
heard it’s a great meeting, register now
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/force2019-edinburgh-tickets-61091464214>.
Early-bird rates are available until September 1.
More information is available on the meeting website
<https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019>. Questions and comments are
always welcome, to force2019(a)force11.org
We’ll look forward to seeing you there!
Thanks!

The FORCE11 annual conference is a different kind of meeting, where
stakeholders come together – or scrummage – for an open discussion, on an
even playing field, to talk about changing the ways scholarly and
scientific information is communicated, shared and used. Researchers,
publishers, librarians, computer scientists, informaticians, funders,
educators, citizens, and others attend the FORCE11 meeting with a view to
supporting the realization of promising new ideas and identifying new
potential collaborators.

Hello all,
Starting on July 15th, the name of the Wikidata RDF dumps will be changed
to *remove the "beta"*. For example, the file that would have been named
wikidata-20190717-all-BETA.ttl.bz2 with the former name format will be
named wikidata-20190717-all.ttl.bz2.
This will only impact the *new generated dumps*, not the previous ones.
If you have questions or issues, feel free to ask on the Phabricator ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226153>.
Cheers,

The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for
volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are
available to help you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets,
tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who
would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:
