About me

Hello World. My name is Chris Koerner. (My last name is pronounced Ker-ner). I'm a Community Relations Specialist, which means that I get to empower people with technology and encourage those with an inquisitive mind. I’m here to support the communities the foundation works with across the Wikimedia movement.

I've been with the foundation for two years now, and have been a MediaWikian and Wikipedian since 2013. I’m a partner to those underrepresented in our community and work to have better representation of the diverse voices in our projects.

I'm someone who tries to follow the idea of New Sincerity. In short, I'm honest with minimal irony or sarcasm.

Reach out to me however suits you best and I’ll get back to you.

My work

I'm a Community Liaison. You can see what I'm currently up to by tasks assigned to me in Phabricator, the Wikimedia software development collaboration tool.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
