[Wikitech-l] [Wikimedia Tech Talks] Happening Now! Wikidata, behind the curtain

Hi Everyone, It's time for Wikimedia Tech Talks 2019 Episode 10! This talk will take place 20, November, 2019 at 7PM UTC. *Title: *Wikidata, behind the curtain *Speaker: *Amir Sarabadani, Software developer, Wikimedia Deutschland *Summary:* Wikidata is a complex and large-scale project. We all know how to use it and how to contribute to it but it's a little bit hard to understand how it actually works, how it scales and what parts are tricky about it. To lots of developers, it's a black box and this is not good. This talk plans to explain internals of Wikidata to other developers and explain future changes to Wikidata on its technical layer.
