Events <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Events> - Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group> call February 20, 2024: In honor of Valentine's Day month, we are bringing back the popular program from last February: What's Your Wikidata Passion? What is your central Wikidata interest right now? It can be a work or personal project, even if you’re just beginning to think about it, or just what you like to edit when you have time. This is a great way to share your ideas, solicit community input and ask questions about resources or tools. This will be an open mic session, completely informal. Please add yourselves to the list on our agenda here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xeDJ7luVK6s4rhkW6X4W5KJwyv0Zg9S-CWklGYLVlyg/edit#heading=h.wfymokwg49yg> if you would like to talk for 5 minutes or so. You can share your screen if you like, but there’s no need for slides. Or just show up and talk on the spur of the moment. This will be a community session where we welcome all to participate!
