Hi! I'm David Parreño Mont (@dapamont), Head of Communications at Amical Wikimedia. When I was 12 I started editing the Catalan Wikipedia, improving my writing skills while I managed to help many other people.
I describe myself as a “volunteer of knowledge”. I have made over 60,000 contributions in Wikimedia projects. Thus, these articles will be helpful to thousands of people. I'm also member and Head of Communications of Amical Wikimedia, a non-profit Wikimedia organization whose focus of interest is the Catalan language and culture. Amical Wikimedia is officialy recognized by Wikimedia Foundation as the first organization that don't represent a state.
I had been the Wikipedian-in-Residence at Catalan Network of Public Libraries to promote and encourage the participation of the public libraries of Catalonia on Wikipedia. Working together, we can promote scholarly and cultural knowledge, information literacy, and open access. Before, I had been also the Wikipedian-In-Residence at cultural institutions of Palafrugell, my hometown.
Outside Wikipedia, I'm studying Bachelor's degrees in Journalism and Human Arts at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. I'm a radio broadcaster of Ràdio Palafrugell and collaborator of the newspaper Ara and the cultural magazine Núvol. I was editor for Bits Catalans, the first Catalan tech blog.
