Hi, The next "Wikimedia Café" meetup will be on Wednesday the 23rd of January, on a time to be chosen via Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/5mf5cfkuxpprk727. The plan is that for January's meetup we will focus on Wikidata. Bluerasberry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bluerasberry>, who works extensively with Wikidata at the University of Virginia's Data Science Institute, plans to participate.
The Zoom online meeting link will be the same link that we have used for previous Wikimedia Café meetups; see below. The Café meetups are usually small, so they are a good place to ask questions or to discuss ideas, regarding Wikidata or other Wikimedia topics.
