In case anyone is interested in the VSN 2022 project (I hope so! 
) - I will just add a quick update. The project is ongoing, there is a lot happening, including a series of skillshare meetings for the community supporters and volunteers (one is even happening tomorrow: Volunteer Supporters Network/Meetings - Meta Feel free to participate!). We have finished the Wikidata Competition with great results (thanks for everyone who have participated!) and are now working on our structural reform. Four month after the project started we already have a lot of learnings. We were also able to reach a lot of people with this project and hopefully - continue to do so.
