Hello all,
As you know, Lydia and i regularly organize Wikidata office hours, an
online meeting where we're presenting an update from the development team,
what we're working on at the moment, people can ask questions.
The next one will take place on Tuesday, *November 5th* at 18:00 Berlin
time (UTC+1)
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Wikidata+Telegram+office+hour&iso=20191105T18&p1=37&ah=1>
on the *the Wikidata Telegram channel
<https://t.me/joinchat/AZriqUj5Uag92TB4U9eBdQ>*.

The previous meetings happened on IRC, and the content is later transferred
onwiki. You can see the archives here
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/archive#Past_office_hours>.
Since we noticed that over the past year, more and more activity takes
place on the Telegram channel, and less on IRC, we decided to make an
experiment and run the office hour on Telegram for the first time. As
usual, the notes of the meeting will be published on wiki, so everyone can
access them.
Depending on how it works for us and for you, we may decide to continue the
experiment, to go back to IRC, or even to find another tool for such an
interactive meeting (I also plan to look at the tools that Wikimedia Space
<https://space.wmflabs.org/> is offering). I hope you won't mind us trying
new things :)
If you have any question or remark, feel free to reach out to me.
Cheers,
--
