Hello everyone,
I’m writing this message to let you know that my time collaborating with Wikimedia Deutschland is coming to an end. After 6 years as an employee and 3 additional years as a freelancer, I will stop working regularly for the Wikidata development team at the end of June 2025.
The projects that I’ve been leading in the past few years have other contact points to whom you can reach out if you have any questions or suggestions in the future:
-
WikidataCon https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Event:WikidataCon_2025: Alan Ang https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Alan_Ang_(WMDE), Danny Benjafield https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE) -
Wikidata birthday and distributed events: Mohammed Abdulai https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Mohammed_Abdulai_(WMDE) -
“X Days” events: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Category:XXX_Days Lydia Pintscher https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE), Danny -
Wikidata status updates https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates: Mohammed, Danny -
Training programs https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Training (e.g. Wikidata MOOC): Mohammed -
Anything related to technical issues https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Report_a_technical_problem and bug reporting for Wikidata: Mohammed
I wanted to take the opportunity to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in these projects and events in the past few years: speaking at the conferences, facilitating discussions, organizing distributed events, actively participating to ensure a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere, and volunteering to support the organizers in many different ways. You are awesome and the Wikidata community will always have a special place in my heart <3 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_heart_logo.svg
Rest assured that I’m not disappearing from the Wikidata community nor the Wikimedia movement! I will still be around, supporting Wikimedia organizations to run Wikidata-related events and projects, and I may still collaborate again with Wikimedia Deutschland from time to time. So you will keep seeing my name popping on some Wikimedia channels.
This email address and my wiki account user:Lea Lacroix (WMDE) will no longer be active after June 30th, but you can find me and various ways to contact me on my personal user page user:Auregann https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Auregann.
I’m looking forward to catching up with you at the occasion of a Wikimedia event in the future.
Best,
Oh wow, sorry to see you go, and hope we’ll all see you around. Thanks for everything you’ve done!
All the best for whatever comes next,
Dan

Hi Léa,
Thank you for being so kind during my internship back then at WMDE. I knew we interacted in such a short time, but I already knew you had been around since the first time.
I hope you will enjoy your next chapter of life. See you around!
