Hello all,
We’re glad to announce that WikidataCon’s program is out
<https://pretalx.com/wdcon21/schedule/#>! 🎉
This year, WikidataCon is organized by Wikimedia Deutschland and Wiki
Movimento Brasil with “a sustainable future for Wikidata” as the main theme
and is taking place online on October 29-31.
For this Friday (starting at 12:00 UTC), you can expect a program curated
