OpenRefine is a powerful free, open source tool for working with messy data.: cleaning it; transforming it; and extending it with web services and external data
What should future OpenRefine community calls cover?
We are collecting input on possible 2026 sessions: workflow demos, reconciliation services, metadata standards, extension demos, trainer sessions, localization, developer Q&A, and more.

It’s not part of the 3.10.1 release (which focused on notarization), but the path forward is fairly clear. Contributions or feedback on the issue are very welcome.
We just released #OpenRefine 3.10.1, with the Mac build correctly notarized. If you don't use a Mac, you can ignore this release.
