Hello all,
As you know, this weekend we celebrated Wikidata's fifth birthday, during the WikidataCon in Berlin, but also in Tokyo, Seoul and Munich.
We collected a lot of amazing
presents and stories, that you can find here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fifth_BirthdayDuring the WikidataCon, 200 members of the community met, shared their knowledge, experiences, favorite tools, and discussed about a lot of topics. We're currently trying to document the outcomes of the conference as best as possible. You can already find some content on:
* the video recordings of the sessions happening in room A

We are also very happy to announce that the
WikidataCon will be back in October 2019 in Berlin, to host even more attendees and more exciting content.
In 2018, we encourage all the local communities to organize their own events around the sixth birthday, in order to build a
Wikidata birthday around the world. Meetups or trainings, conferences or parties, big or small, all the ideas are welcome to celebrate Wikidata with your local community and engage new editors. More information will come in the next months, but you can already mention your projects on this page:
