 * Attended story time meeting.
 * Preparing Wikidata talks for NYC meetup, WikiArabia and tech workshop in Ramallah.
 * Working on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/273780/ - build scripts for query service gui
 * Updated PropertySuggester and Wikibase Quality extensions for DataModel 6.0 T130051
 * Got code coverage working for myself on hhvm. (think this needs https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/environment, some configuration in my php.ini file and to temporarily disable xhprof) When updating the PropertySuggester and Quality extensions, it would be really helpful if these had closer to 100% code coverage.

Attending a panel discussion on topic of innovation in libraries, with Ben Vershbow (from NYPL labs) and others.
 * Wikidata was mentioned :) It's being used in the Bibliographic Identifiers for Library Location Information (Billi) project. (e.g. http://billi.nypl.org/classmark/nd1700-2495/about)

March 16

 * Working on search of labels and descriptions, using CirrusSearch / ElasticSearch.
 * Updating to use DataModel 6.0 (and work better with new entity types)
 * Talked about Wikidata at Wikimedia NYC meetup.
 * users are concerned about how difficult it is now to add authority control data when creating a new Wikipedia article, (e.g. about an artist) since authority control is now handled in Wikidata.

March 17

 * Holiday (travel to DC)

March 18

 * Looking into test failures for the build. (having some trouble to get LuaSandbox working on hhvm, though this works on Vagrant but tests don't fail there.  It's somewhat obvious anyway what the problem is)
 * Working on search
 * Maybe only work 1/2 day (and maybe some during the weekend + the meetups)

March 19-20

 * Wikimedia DC is co-organizing 2 edit-a-thons on Saturday and one on Sunday. (I can't attend them all, but maybe the ones on Saturday)

March 19

 * Attended editathon at the Smithsonian. Users are asking about enabling arbitrary access on Commons and the status of structured data support. They need arbitrary access, even just for non-language specific things like accessing authority control data for creator templates.
 * Attended accessibility edit-a-thon at the DC Public Library (Meetup/DC/DCPL March 2016). Obviously, accessibility is something that could use much improvement on Wikidata, and for editing Wikidata content used on Wikipedia.

March 20

 * Got LuaSandbox working on hhvm
 * Fixing test failures:
 * adapt MediaInfoView to changes in EntityView - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/278606/ T130511
 * Fix Scribunto tests - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/278677/ (causes above patch to fail on jenkins)

March 21

 * Work on search
 * Preparing for travel (want to swap hard drive, with fresh install of stuff w/o things like production ssh keys)

March 22

 * Travel to NYC

March 23

 * Travel to Amman

March 24-26

 * WikiArabia (presented about Wikidata)
 * people are interested in Wikidata supporting more calendars (e.g. Islamic calendars), though understand the complexity and challenges of dates and calendars in Wikidata.

March 29

 * Final preparations of talk for Ramallah

March 30

 * Tech meetup / workshops in Ramallah.

March 31-April 3

 * Wikimedia Hackathon 2016
