Amir hummus :P --> Thanks! <3 slightly outdated link: https://aharoni.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/how-to-make-hummus/
I learned about Ordia https://ordia.toolforge.org/ , which will be very useful for me for looking up Wikidata . lexemes. Thanks to Utilisateur:VIGNERON.
- This is a cool tool!
I enjoyed the Maltese meetup. There should be more of those, throughout the year, for all kinds of languages!
- Maltese meetup is every other Thursday at http://www.wikimalta.org/meetup -- next one is on THURSDAY 23 JULY at 4pm UTC.
I learned how to use Wikidata templates in the English Wikipedia. It was such an obscure thing, and User:RexxS taught me useful things. Thanks!
all the mug photos!
video pool
- +1 The videos were amazing and varied!
- +1000000, all the videos are great and everyone should watch them and share them

🎉🌍 Welcome to day 2 of the conference!🌍🎉
Hello! What's the weather like where you are right now?

In Berlin it's been raining like hell earlier, now it's slightly better & 21°C
It's winter here in Cape Town and we have wind & rain, snow on the mountains!
An howl a dhallathas splanna yn Kardydh wortiwedh! The sun has finally started to shine in Cardiff.
Sunny blue skies here in north London
Overcast in Amsterdam
Overcast and a bit windy in NRW, Germany
Sunny in Truro, Cornwall - DavydhT
Overcast but bright - West Mids UK
Sunny and blue skies in Glasgow, Scotland
Lovely blue skies, warm sun, puffy white clouds - for now
a sunny early morning, around 28 degrees already in Accra
Suddenly quite sunny, after a very cool and wet few days in Dublin

Irish terms from the slide[edit]

These are 2 artefacts from the Hunt Museum, being used to illustrate both the collection and some Irish-language terms
gúna = dress
corcra = purple
faisean = fashion
mainicín = mannekin
línéadach = linen
fáinne = ring
ór = gold
déantán Ceilteach = Celtic artefact
seanda = ancient
seandálaíochta = archæological

(As someone with limited irish I read those as "celtic made thing", "old thing", "OLD OLD thing"...)

✨✨✨✨✨[edit]

🎉We finished the first day of the conference!

What did you enjoy most today? 🎉 (e.g. a specific talk, interaction with people, eating cereal while watching the opening talks?)

Kevin Scannell's presentation
- Finding out that there's another Irish speaker in my hometown
Wikidata details and how it can be used
- Learning about Wikidata has been great, although I feel like I'm dipping my toes in the edge of a VERY deep pool!
Learning about Content Translator, so I've made my first edit on the Welsh Wikipedia. The tools for populating smaller-language Wikipedias from Wikidata look super helpful.
The lunch was great! Just as I like it!
- 😂
- just like at home 😄
I like having an etherpad, maybe face-to-face conferences should also have them
- As someone who has been scribing into Etherpad a lot today, I'd struggle to do so at an in-person conference, unfortunately.
- The etherpad has been so good! I know I haven't taken it all in, so I will be able to look back at those notes later.
- Wikimania usually does
- very useful for the panel discussion topics (lots of things I need to look up later)
video pool, so much interesting talks there too! (didn't had the time to look them all yet sadly)
- 💯
L99 😂
