My presentations

I used my travel funds toward Singapore to present our Wikimedia project to both Taibei COSCUP 2023 (green), a major Open Source international conference, and to the Singapore Wikimania 2023 (blue), arguably the largest open content and open culture conference. I lead 2 presentations and joined one round table in the later.

Lili has data, including Lingualibre gender data. https://lingualibre.org/LanguagesGallery/

This page can therefore be of interest for both web dev hackers and Women in red communities.
