Thank you, Kaya.
As regards being carried along in discussions and office hours, that is why
I'm here. I hope we find the best time suitable for all our conversations
and that you honor our invitations to such discussions when the time comes.
Again, thank you for the best wishes, and I look forward to working with
and for you.
Warm regards,
Benedict

I wish you luck in balancing the needs of Commons which has been ignored
for 10 years, and the on going needs of Wikidata. I do ask you to remember
that the ESEAP community resides in UTC+7 to plus to UTC +14 please ensure
equity of access to office hours and discussions for our community as well.

Hello 👋🏽
I'm Benedict Nnaemeka Udeh from Nigeria, a recently hired Community
Relations Specialist (CRS
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists>) for
Wikidata and Commons.
I'm a member of the Igbo Wikimedians User Group, the Founder of IG
Wikidata Hub, and the Founder of Wiki Mentor Africa, a mentorship program
that seeks to bring more African developers and technical writers into the
technical space of Wikimedia. I'm passionate about community growth and
capacity building. Like you, I'm incredibly spirited about the free
knowledge movement.
In my new position as CRS, I will focus on collaboration and
communication with you about Wikidata and Commons product development, the
user-facing changes and roll-outs, and sometimes on projects with special
needs for collaboration with Volunteers. In other words, I am here to serve
you (the editors, contributors, and readers of Commons and Wikidata
projects) and the working groups at the Foundation that support Commons and
Wikidata. I've already started sharing some updates; you can find them on
the Product and technical support for Commons Portal
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Product_and_technical_support_for_Commons_2022-23>.
Please feel free to use the discussion page
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Product_and_technical_support_for_Commons_2022-23>
to discuss these updates.
I look forward to working with and for you all and can't wait to see the
fantastic things we will do together.
Benedict Udeh
Community Relations Specialist
