Hi,

if someone wants to facilitate an hour on counter-vandalism, I volunteer to be a second facilitator (assuming the time slot is compatible with European time, there are not so many left). I find it an important topic to discuss, but do not have anything intelligible to say myself.

Hello all,

As you may know, every year around October 29th we're celebrating Wikidata's birthday with various events, presents and wishes. This year, you can find a calendar of various events, most of them taking place online. You can still organize one, find more information here. You can also prepare a birthday present and add it to this page.

The year 2020 is special in many ways, for example because most of the international events where we normally gather, meet and have informal time together have been cancelled. I definitely miss these events and the possibility to chat with some of you, discuss the projects you're working on and discover what's new on Wikiprojects.

There's no formal program during the meetup, and people are invited to chat about anything related to the main theme. However, we're inviting people to sign up as a facilitator for a one-hour slot: you can find a second person to co-facilitate with you, sign up in the schedule, and add an optional topic to the slot. This opportunity is great if there's a topic you'd like to discuss with the community.

As we're an international crowd, the discussions will mostly take place in English. However, it is possible to include other languages: for example, a slot in French has already been added. Please also note that the meetup is covered by the code of conduct for technical spaces.

So, feel free to note down the date in your calendars, don't hesitate to sign up to facilitate a slot! The link to the event (we will use the software BigBlueButton) will be added shortly before the date.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on the related talk page.

See you there!
