## Attendees

- Jan Ainali - Advisory Committee

## Discussion

### Community call

- Martin announced the next community call: [Community call: 2026 Community Survey preparation and goals review](https://forum.openrefine.org/t/community-call-2026-community-survey-preparation-and-goals-review/2815)
- Martin will publish the video of last month's call
- The group discussed the planning for the following session. Martin and Jan will reach out to different groups to gauge interest in suggesting a topic or presenting.

### Wikidata Reconciliation Service

- The conversation continues on [⚓ T419770 Intermittent errors from Wikidata reconciliation service (wikidata.reconci.link) used by OpenRefine](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T419770)
- The fact that the wikidata reconciliation server is now hosted on Wikimedia Gitlab and Phorge (for tickets) helps to indicate the ownership is within Wikimedia communities.
- There is a call scheduled in the coming days to continue organizing the community.
- Martin will continue to monitor progress and update the [draft blog](https://github.com/OpenRefine/openrefine.org/pull/568) post accordingly.

### Budget

We need to present the 2026-2027 OpenRefine budget to CS&S by May 22nd. Martin will work on it this week.

### Grant Application

The group discussed [Funding opportunity: OS4LS proposal around OpenRefine for life-science data curation](https://forum.openrefine.org/t/funding-opportunity-os4ls-proposal-around-openrefine-for-life-science-data-curation/2816)
