Here's your summary of what's been happening around Wikidata last week. Enjoy!

Events/Press/Blogs

• Past: IRC office hour (log with summary of past 3 months, OSM integration and more)
• Upcoming: code.talks

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Great collaboration between a group of Flemish museums and art collections and Wikidata
