MartinPoulter / Martin (Bristol, UK) - this is my first WREN meeting! I am Wikimedian in Residence at the Private Collection, the world's largest collection of Islamic Art. It also collects other non-Western art. We hope to share 1000 images. This is a private collection and the owner wishes to make this a public museum. Part of their outreach strategy is to share photographs of the collection.
dorevabelfiore /Doreva (Philadelphia) member of the Philadelphia WikiSalon. Having the monthly salon on Saturday 9 October. In October we commemorate Ada Lovelace Day with a women in science exhibit. Unfortunately we cannot distribute custom designed Ada Lovelace cake (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Have_your_Ada_Lovelace_cake_and_eat_it_too.jpg) in person as we have in the past. I believe that we are going to teach editing Wikidata with Women in Science goals/targets. We have a solid 90 minutes of teaching/work/Q&A every month and our attendees are liking the format.

Can Kelly Doyle provide a list of women scientists for other groups to collaborate for Women in Science on 10/9 and/or 10/13 on a larger GLAM event (maybe Wikipedia, WIkidata, Wikisource, Commons)

Rajeeb-This is my first WREN meeting, I am a Wikimedian from India, looking to know more about WREN and their activities.
The programs and events dashboard has been crashing. This is because heavy Wikipedia editors overtax the system, whcih is designed to report new editors. Wikidata editors in particular will editing 1000s of items with automation, whereas typical editors getting tracked will edit 1-2 articles.

Event metrics was a WMF managed version of the Dashboard. The old version has had ~200k users and 100s of regular users. The WMF version may have had 50 users, no regular users. Lane feels that the WMF should fund support of the existing tool.
Discussion about shoes and fashion
LIsteria (tool for generating WIkidata-diriven lists within WIkidata or a Wikipedia)
Lane: my expectation is that anyone with ideas, at all skill levels, is a good candidate for applying for this. Good applications develop Wikidata in the Wikicite project.
Andrew: There is not a Wikicite conference this year so the money is going to projects. I understand that among other ideas, the group wants videos to replace the conversations that would have happened in a conference.
Wikidata modeling for properties related to printed matter, artworks
Best practices?
Andrew: we are short on models for all sorts of archiving collections. For example, how do we track the ownership of art items as they change hands. We still do not have all the properties we need to manage library collections.
New properties? Existing ones with qualifiers?

Martin: we often do not have data for this
Andrew: The Met Museum has this data, but not as structured data, and often there are different waysof measuring
For time-based fields, these are also some fields to consider. These might all just be covered by "Significant event" and a qualifier, or some might rise to being actual properties. Though these tend to be more about prints and books than paintings.

Low priority, but interesting for discussion:
Sustainable Development Goals edit a thon
AI in the movement - SDC
The Wikimedia Foundation multimedia team has been trying to recruit Commons users to tag Commons users.items?There has been general dissatisfaction among Commons users with the AI predictions of the tags. The quality issues are varied. Martin Dahmers and Jean Fred have been pushing back on WMF activities, and these two advocate for institutional partnerships.
