Hello @Fuzheado and thanks a lot for proposing this session!

We would love to schedule it on the main hackathon track on Saturday, 22nd of May at 19:00 in UTC. You would have 55min, questions and discussions included.

Does this timeslot work for you? We kindly ask you to confirm before May 17th, so we can complete the schedule.

As a speaker on the main track, we will send you a link to a BigBlueButton room where you will be able to present and share your screen. The content of your session will be live-streamed on a video platform and automatically recorded. Participants will not be able to talk to you directly, but they will leave comments in the chat. We will send you more details closer to the event. If you’d like to schedule a testing session to have a look at BigBlueButton, just let us know.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Thanks!

Hi there, if someone else could have the responsibility to lead this session, that would be great, and I'm happy to help with it and hopefully attend it. Unfortunately the Hackathon weekend I will be only somewhat available, so I would not want the successful execution of this event to rely solely on me.

"none of the main upload tools (Pattypan, url2commons) support SDC"

It might be worth mentioning that the other hand, the Commons Android app has good SDC support :-)

Hi, if there is aynone else who could have the responsibility to lead this session, this is a kindly reminder that we aim to confirm the schedule until tomorrow.

Update: because the owner of this session is unclear for now, we moved it from the main track to an open hacking room, on Saturday at 19:00 UTC. If no one volunteers to run the session before Friday, we will remove this session from the schedule.

If anyone volunteers for this session, feel free to have a look at the remaining free slots in the two hacking rooms in the schedule (times are presented in UTC/GMT), and please add your session directly in the schedule on wiki, in one of the two hacking rooms, before May 20th. If you have issues editing the wiki, we can also do it for you, feel free to ask for help.

As a speaker in a hacking room, you will use Jitsi, where you will be able to present, share your screen, and interact directly with the participants. The session will not be recorded.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Thanks!

@Nes (hi! its been a while since we met in Istanbul) and @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, me and @GFontenelle_WMF are trying to take over the session but if we can't find a wizard who knows how to use the tools we would need to change it to fit to our capabilities, focusing on using the Commons Query Service. A couple of questions:

1. Is it ok to change the session description and activity to fit with our muggle capabilities?
2. If not is there an existing session on playing around with Wikidata query service we could just tell people about the extra buttons you can press in the Commons Query Service?

Thanks

Hi @John_Cummings @GFontenelle_WMF If you're planning to do something different, I suggest you create a separate task to describe what you plan to do :) Once you're satisfied of the description, feel free to add the session directly in the schedule. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/Schedule

The only Query Service related session is a live query session, not something to submit requests, so I don't think it would suit your needs.

Hi @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE thanks for the reply, its all got to complicated, please just remove the session from the schedule if you haven't done already.

Thanks
