Hello all,
As you know, this weekend we celebrated Wikidata's fifth birthday, during
the WikidataCon in Berlin, but also in Tokyo, Seoul and Munich.
We collected a lot of amazing *presents and stories*, that you can find
here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fifth_Birthday
During the WikidataCon, 200 members of the community met, shared their
knowledge, experiences, favorite tools, and discussed about a lot of
topics. We're currently trying to document the outcomes of the conference
as best as possible. You can already find some content on:
* the video recordings of the sessions happening in room A
https://media.ccc.de/b/conferences/wikidatacon/2017
* the slides and notes of each session of day 1
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017/Documentation/Proce…
* the Commons category & subcategories

We are also very happy to announce that the *WikidataCon will be back in
October 2019 in Berlin*, to host even more attendees and more exciting
content.
In 2018, we encourage all the local communities to organize their own
events around the sixth birthday, in order to build a *Wikidata birthday
around the world*. Meetups or trainings, conferences or parties, big or
small, all the ideas are welcome to celebrate Wikidata with your local
community and engage new editors. More information will come in the next
months, but you can already mention your projects on this page:
