weekly update (last short week due to holidays):

Wiki Workshop

• Opened our 2026 venue and started modifying it for our needs
• I also started putting together a tutorial for OpenReview to be shared with our Research Track chairs. I'm trying to make this simple but exhaustive so that we have it as documentation for future years (and with modifications also for WW).

Research Showcase

• Held our October showcase focused on Wikidata.
• Continued iterating on the January showcase.

WP 25th Birthday

• Met with Miriam and Jerome to discuss our proposed Research Track. We made good progress on defining our goals and desired output. We plan to work on the high-level design elements and CFP in the next week and meet again.

Other

• Working with Miriam to prepare a presentation on Wikimedia Research for an upcoming research-focused event hosted by WM Ukraine (and funded through the Research Fund)
