New product manager for Wikibase - Wikibase Community User Group

22 Jan 2020

Hello to everyone!

I’m Sam <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Samantha_Alipio_(WMDE)>, the
new product manager for Wikibase. I recently joined the Wikimedia
Deutschland team to tend to the emerging Wikibase ecosystem so it can
continue to thrive and grow. A lover of all things Internet, I bring
previous experience in open source software with Mozilla and spent several
years in the consulting industry.

My mission is to drive Wikibase enhancements that will make it possible for
more people, projects, and institutions to set up knowledge bases and
access the power of linked open data. Lydia Pintscher continues to serve as
the product manager for Wikidata and we will be working closely together
going forward.

To learn more about our roadmap for 2020, or just to “meet” me virtually,
please join the upcoming Wikidata/Wikibase office hour on Telegram today at
6PM [UTC+1]
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2020-January/013736.html>.
You can also check out the vision and strategy papers
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Strategy/2019> for
Wikidata/Wikibase for more information.

You are welcome to email me at samantha.alipio(a)wikimedia.de to share your
feedback on Wikibase or start the conversation about whether it is the
right tool for your institution or open knowledge project.
