[19:57:43] <vrandecic>	 This week's newsletter is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2021-06-24
[19:58:00] <vrandecic>	 It also has the instructions if you want to attend the GF summer school for free
[20:15:43] <wm-bb>	 <mahir256> I wonder how the GF folks will appraise Wikidata lexemes
[20:18:59] <wm-bb>	 <mahir256> ...or how receptive they might be to the idea that English isn't the lexicographical center of the universe
[20:36:49] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> This is always a good question 😁 (re @mahir256: ...or how receptive they might be to the idea that English isn't the lexicographical center of the universe)
[20:47:21] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> This world is too frigging small. 
[20:47:22] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> (The person we have to register with for the GF summer school TA'd one of the compling classes I took years ago :D)
[20:48:24] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> So I can say that that person will be very aware of it not being the center of the universe :D (re @mahir256: ...or how receptive they might be to the idea that English isn't the lexicographical center of the universe)

[20:50:49] <wm-bb>	 <mahir256> ok, that's good to hear; I went through some of their reference grammars and the lexicon definitions of some were pretty English-centric in ways (re @WMYupik: So I can say that that person will be very aware of it not being the center of the universe :D)
[20:54:18] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> I'll have to take a look at some. Everything I have here is CFG.
[21:27:38] <vrandecic>	 GF itself is written using mostly language based identifiers in the abstract grammar. That's something we will change, obviously. And they are very interested in using Wikidata lexemes and pull them directly into GF. That could be a cool first step, actually.
[21:30:34] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> That's awesome! :D (re @WMYupik: This world is too frigging small.

[21:34:08] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> I had to check when I saw the email address 😁
[21:34:28] <wm-bb>	 <WMYupik> Nahh, it can't be.... Oh it is! 😂
[21:59:45] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> 😄
