Hello all,
I’m excited to announce Moushira Elamrawy has (re)joined the Wikimedia
Foundation yesterday as Community Liaison with the Mobile Web and App teams.
Moushira will be working with communities and the mobile product teams to
communicate feedback from users, explain development and product changes,
and act as a bridge between mobile users and the Foundation. She is mostly
based in Alexandria, Egypt.
Her background with the wikimedia movement and with the use of mobile in a
broader context, brings a solid mix of our current systems and new
technologies.
In her own words:
“I have a diverse design/community/management background. I met Wikipedia
through the filming of “Truth in Numbers” back in late 2007, then I was
among Wikimania 2008 organization team, then gradually moved to being an
editor on wp-ar, then I moved to Linux, etc. In late 2010 I joined the
foundation as part of the fundraiser team, then I moved to a role that
focused on chapters relations, then for a year, I focused on managing
strategy and pilot programs for WIkimedia in the Arabic speaking countries
--(one of the global south programs that operated back then). I left the
foundation and moved to graduate school in Barcelona for an interaction
design masters program, currently I do consultancies that focus on the
enabling technology and changing the user base of tech through mobile. I
recently got my open water diving license and I quit coffee after 14 years
of extensive usage, which was such a terribly very bad idea.“
Please join me in welcoming Moushira to Community Engagement, and back to
the Wikimedia Foundation!
Cheers,
Rachel diCerbo
