About me

Hello! Long-time volunteer since 2005, mainly in Arabic, French and Commons projects, cofounder of WikiDZ at the end of 2014 Since 2015, I organize several activities for the local and regional community, photo contests, education programs, etc., one of the projects that I'm proud : Wikimassak, a MOOC gathering 10,000 subscribers for Arabic-speaking beginners. I received a letter of thanks from a blind person, young participants living in non-Arabic-speaking countries. Which touched me a lot and which encourages me to continue developing projects for knowledge, and attempt to reduce the gaps wherever they are located. As a volunteer I co-founded the Arabic Wikimedians User Group to strengthen the collaboration of the Arabic speaking community worldwide and organized the wikiarabia conference with wikidz online and it was an opportunity to renew the dialogue with the lower voices of the community arabe.

My work

Product Ambassadors empower product teams to work closely with communities. Product Ambassadors work within their home communities to build connection, having local conversations over time about Wikimedia products.
