Jan Ainali
Jan has been a Wikimedian since 2006. Nowadays, his majority of edits is on Wikidata, but he contributes to Wikimedia Commons and Swedish Wikipedia a lot too. He is active in a number of WikiProjects and is a member of bunch of User Groups and Chapters. Besides the editing, he does a podcast about Wikipedia and sometimes also live streams when he edits.
Sessions
WikiProjects has been around for a very long time in the Wikimedia movement. But still, they are mostly built by users themselves with little supporting infrastructure. At the same time, Wikidata has a unique potential to use WikiProjects due to the millions of items that otherwise easily slip through the cracks and the flexibility in modeling things in various ways. In this lightning talk, I will paint a picture of a future Wikidata that uses WikiProjects in a radically different way to inspire some thoughts and discussions.
Wikidata makes amazing applications possible. In this panel we will hear from different projects using Wikidata's data for social good. They range from citizen participation, to fact checking to understanding the non-profit landscape better.
