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. -- Samantha Alipio Product Manager, Wikibase Wikimedia Deutschland e.
