Hi everybody,
There’s a workshop on describing images bulk-uploaded from Flickr to Wikidata tomorrow. This might be very specifically relevant only to my interests, but I thought I’d pass it along in case anybody is interested.
Cheers,
Gaurav

> During October, we are promoting the Image Description Month <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_Description_Month>. 🎉
>
> On Friday, October 27, at 6:00 PM UTC, the Biodiversity Heritage Library is teaming up with OpenRefine and the Culture and Heritage team to host a data modeling workshop + demo using OpenRefine to clean and convert BHL's Flickr data to linked open data.
>
> In this event, participants from the OpenRefine Train-the-Trainer course <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OpenRefine/Train-the-trainer_pro…> and editors interested in biodiversity are invited to analyze, discuss, model, and work on preparing the metadata of some Biodiversity Heritage Library <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Biodiversity_Heritage_Library> images that were available on Flickr. The goal is to make these files ready to be used during the TTT course in November, but also to learn more about Structured Data on Commons.

Sorry, everybody — the following e-mail was sent to the Wikimedia-US-CO mailing list last Saturday, but I’ve been on vacation and didn’t see it until just now. I’ve added Annie to the non-member moderation list, so any future e-mails she sends us should go through without moderation.
This is probably a good opportunity to ask if anybody would like to become a moderator or administrator for the wikimedia-us-co(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedia-us-co@lists.wikimedia.org> mailing list? We get some spam every week, so moderating non-members is necessary, but hopefully with more moderators missing urgent messages like this one will happen less frequently.
Cheers,
Gaurav
