Hi all, Hope you and your loved ones are all safe and well while the pandemic is bringing more and more cases in India and the super-cyclone Amphan has just caused massive destruction in Odisha and West Bengal. Amidst all these calamities and difficulties we are all facing in real life, it gives everyone great hope and inspiration that our communities are working relentlessly on their mission to give free access to the sum of all human knowledge to every single person on the planet.
The Wikidata datathon mentioned in the previous mail is also going to start soon in few hours. For the next 3 days, we are going to focus on building a linked database about the Indian researchers and scientists, working on different fields of science. On of the prime focus will definitely be SARS COV2 and COVID-19. At the end of the datathon, we expect to fill the existing data gap significantly.
