Hello everybody,

I’m Léa, I’m working at Wikimedia Deutschland since today as community communication manager for Wikidata :)

We may already met on the Wikimedia projects with my personal account, Auregann. I contribute on French Wikipedia, where I used to participate in the newcomers welcoming project, add a few pictures on Commons, and I’m an active member of the local user group laNCO, in which I organized a lots of community events, training sessions and GLAM partnerships since 2011.

I used to work in IT, web development, on a local open data program, then I’ve been an IT trainer in libraries for three years.

I started my position at WMDE to support Lydia on the community communication on Wikidata, and some projects of improving the Wikimedia projects with Wikidata data : I will also support all the structured data efforts for Wikipedia, Commons, Wiktionnary… I’m here to discuss with volunteers who edit the projects, welcome your ideas and suggestions, help to find solutions to your problems and make sure that we can work together to improve our projects and keep editing our favorite knowledge base in a nice atmosphere :)

I will begin by discovering the working processes on Wikidata, chatting with you and helping Lydia to answer to the technical questions. I’ll also work on upcoming topics such as reviewing our communication tools, getting the improved showcase items selection process going, and organizing something cool for Wikidata’s 4th anniversary :)

If you have any question, suggestion or idea, my talk page is wide open and I will answer you as soon as I can. If you think that my advice could be useful or if you want to inform me about a discussion happening somewhere, feel free to ping me. You can also send me an e-mail or reach me on IRC (Lea_Auregann_WMDE).
