| Wikidata meetup | Meetup for the Wikidata community. It's the opportunity to exchange with other Wikidata folks. In the first part of the meeting we'll gather and exchange about broad topics, in the second part we'll split in several groups and work on specific topics chosen by participants. | Léa Lacroix (WMDE) | 40 | Friday, 20:30 to 21:30 | We need a big room! Ideally several of them so we can split into groups. Every year the Wikidata crowd gets bigger. In 2019 we had Nukleus and Polygon and it was not enough.
Ideally Viadukt+Teleskop+Okular, if not maybe Alphabet without the tables. | |

Some example of real projects (eg. all the workshops in India or Wikiclubs on Armenian Wikisource), some of which worked and some of which failed and the lesson learned. | Vigneron | around 15 | Friday, 20:00 to 21:00 (?) | ||
