Greetings,
Depending on my workload, I'd be happy to help out.
Best wishes

Hi Reuben,
Thanks for bringing this up. I would also really like to see another
WikiData event to celebrate its 8th birthday this year. For everyone on
this mailing list: please let me or Reuben know if you are interested in
hosting the 8th birthday event for Wikidata this year on or around the 29
October. We will also discuss it at the next chapter board meeting next
week. Even though we will discuss it then I would like to encourage anyone
interested in helping to make it happen (or leading the initiative to host
the event) to contact us. Volunteerism is always encouraged.
The event will have to be a digitally based one over Jitsi, Zoom, Meets or
something like that. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are unable to host
face-to-face gatherings until it is over. This means the event can be
organised, hosted and attended from the comfort of your own home.
Best regards,
Douglas.

I'd love to see this tradition established within our chapter and there's
plenty of support and resources if someone wants to take the lead on
this.
See Léa's email below.
Thanks, Reuben

Subject: [Wikidata] Wikidata's 8th birthday - October 29th
To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <
wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
As every year, the end of October is the moment where we celebrate
Wikidata's
anniversary <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday>,
the
work of the contributors and get together as a
community :)
Some people are already planning *birthday events* (most of them taking
place online). If you're interested in organizing a meetup, live-stream,
etc. feel free to have a look at the details here
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/Organise>, and
to
add the event into the calendar
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday>. We will run a
meetup
for organizers
<
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/Organise#Connect_wit…
,
we provide a digital communication kit
<
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/Organise#Communicati…
(including a cool CC0 logo generator <https://wikidata8.bleeptrack.de/
)
and you can also find information about funding
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/Organise#Funding
.
We are also running an experiment with a 24-hours call
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/24-hours_meetup>
where
people can join at any time that is convenient for them in their own time
zone.
The Wikidata birthday is also the occasion to prepare *presents*, for
example new tools, scripts, improvements on an existing project, but also
non-code gifts. These will be added there
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/Presents>, and
you
can get inspired by the previous years: 2019
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Seventh_Birthday/Presents>, 2018
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Sixth_Birthday/Presents>, 2017
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fifth_Birthday/Presents>, 2016
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Presents>...
If you have any questions regarding the Wikidata birthday and especially
distributed events, feel free to contact me.
Cheers,
