[Wikimedia-l] Re: [Wikidata] WikidataCon 2023 will be organized by Wikimedia Taiwan and Wikimedia Germany

Dear Wikimedia Community members, (apologies for cross-posting - you can find this announcement in Mandarin below) Wikimedia Taiwan is excited to collaborate together! When Wikidata Taiwan <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Taiwan/Wikidata_Taiwan> became aware that Wikimedia Germany was seeking a partner for a co-organized WikidataCon event in 2023, there was intense enthusiasm within the community. Followed by several discussions with Wikimedia Germany, the Wikimedia Taiwan chapter and the representatives of the Taiwan Wikidata community confirmed their intent to collaborate. The preparations are all going quite well right now! Wikidata development in Taiwan only began in 2018 with more systematic goals and initiatives. Since then, OpenStreetMap x Wikidata organize monthly meetup by the Wikidata Taiwan community and the OpenStreetMap Taiwan community, as well as the Yearly Open Data Day, COSCUP community track <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Taiwan/Wikidata_Taiwan/COSCUP_2022> and other events, both have consistently promoted the growth of related editing and project development. For instance, importing of data from a ground-level village dataset, various levels of school dataset, art dataset and exhibition information. As a result, it has collaborated with other open-data communities, primarily GLAM and government agencies. Other examples include the citizen open source groups' g0v-Hackathon and g0v-Summit events. In addition, collaboration with the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau to promote river dataset data governance issues. The community also holds the Wikidata Cross-Domain Forum <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday/Taiwan> at the end of October to celebrate Wikidata's birthday with the global Wikidata community. Wikimedia Taiwan is delighted to work with Wikimedia Germany to co-organize the 2023 WikidataCon with Asia as the focal point, while also following the footway of Wikimedia Movement user group in Brazil. We will continue the development of Wikidata in a variety of cultural contexts. Particularly in relation to Taiwan's issues of cross-disciplines and dialogue. As a result, we advocate for a more diverse and prosperous global Wikidata community. As Léa mentioned in her words, WikidataCon will host both online and on-site events the following year, as we want to maximize the capacity for participation. The on-site event will take place in Taipei. When the time comes, all Wikidata contributors and friendly organisations around Taiwan are welcome to join our events! Stay tuned for upcoming events!
