Hello 👋🏽
I'm Benedict Nnaemeka Udeh from Nigeria, a recently hired Community Relations Specialist (CRS https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists) for Wikidata and Commons.
I'm a member of the Igbo Wikimedians User Group, the Founder of IG Wikidata Hub, and the Founder of Wiki Mentor Africa, a mentorship program that seeks to bring more African developers and technical writers into the technical space of Wikimedia. I'm passionate about community growth and capacity building. Like you, I'm incredibly spirited about the free knowledge movement.
In my new position as CRS, I will focus on collaboration and communication with you about Wikidata and Commons product development, the user-facing changes and roll-outs, and sometimes on projects with special needs for collaboration with Volunteers. In other words, I am here to serve you (the editors, contributors, and readers of Commons and Wikidata projects) and the working groups at the Foundation that support Commons and Wikidata. I've already started sharing some updates; you can find them on the Product and technical support for Commons Portal https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Product_and_technical_support_for_Commons_2022-23. Please feel free to use the discussion page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Product_and_technical_support_for_Commons_2022-23 to discuss these updates.
I look forward to working with and for you all and can't wait to see the fantastic things we will do together.

I wish you luck in balancing the needs of Commons which has been ignored for 10 years, and the on going needs of Wikidata. I do ask you to remember that the ESEAP community resides in UTC+7 to plus to UTC +14 please ensure equity of access to office hours and discussions for our community as well.
