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 <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisatrice: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
<https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Rencontres/Ouest/Non-Cabale_de_l%27Ouest>,
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
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team>. 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
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lea_Lacroix_(WMDE)> 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).
I’m very happy to join the team and look forward to working with you on all
your projects!
Bests, Léa
