User:Birgit Müller (WMDE)



Hi, my name is Birgit and I'm the team lead of the Community Communications Team at Wikimedia Deutschland's Software Development Department.

About the team
The Community Communications Team works at the intersection of software development and communities. We bring the perspectives of diverse communities and users into the development work, so that we can build software that meet users' needs and serves them well. We try to make technical collaboration productive and fun for everyone, translate from tech language to normal language and vice versa, explain processes & challenges in software development and provide transparent information about the status of our projects.

Team members are working within the Wikidata and Technical Wishes teams and in close collaboration with content contributors, volunteer developers, teams of the Wikimedia Foundation and external organisations.

My work
Besides managing the team, I mostly focus on
 * developing collaborative approaches & building networks in and beyond Software Development
 * strategy, roadmap planning & reporting for Technical Wishes together with the product manager
 * finding good ways to support volunteer developers (e.g: Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting)
 * international collaboration & communication around different projects from the Technical Wishlist, gathering feedback and providing informations: onwiki and in real life.
