My name is '''Jon Harald Søby''', and I am a Community Fellow working as a contractor for the Wikimedia Foundation. I live in [[w:Trondheim|Trondheim]], [[w:Norway|Norway]], where I study linguistics. |

| about me = I have been a Wikipedian for more than seven years (since February 2005), and have been active in many facets of the Wikimedia movement. My primary wiki is the [[:no:Bruker:Jon Harald Søby|Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia]], where I am a bureaucrat and administrator. |
|||
As a volunteer I am also active on the [[wikt:User:Jon Harald Søby|English Wiktionary]], here [[User:Jon Harald Søby|on Meta]], where I was once a [[steward]], one of the most active translators for Norwegian (Bokmål) on [[translatewiki:User:Jon Harald Søby|Translatewiki.net]], and have also been on the board of [[Wikimedia Norge]]. I am also one of the founding members of the [[language committee]]. I have also been to all [[Wikimania]]s since 2007. |
|||
I have been a Wikimedian since February 2005, working mainly on the [[:no:Bruker:Jon Harald Søby|Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia]], where I have been an administrator since April 2005. I have also contributed, and continue to do so, in many other facets of the Wikimedia movement: currently I run [[:no:Bruker:JhsBot|a global bot]], help translate the MediaWiki interface into Norwegian on [[translatewiki:|Translatewiki]], and serve as an administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser and oversighter on the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia, help answering e-mail inquiries on [[m:OTRS|OTRS]] and do miscellaneous other tasks where needed. |
|||
When I'm not working with Wikimedia stuff, I study linguistics at [[w:NTNU|NTNU]] in [[w:Trondheim|Trondheim]], [[w:Norway|Norway]]. I also love to travel, and have been to approximately 31 countries to date, most notably [[w:Tanzania|Tanzania]], where I was on exchange for six months. |
|||
In the past I have also been a [[m:Stewards|steward]], been part of the Wikimedia Foundation's [[m:Board elections|board election committee]] a number of times, served on the board of [[wmno:|Wikimedia Norge]], on the election committee of [[wmse:|Wikimedia Sverige]]. I have attended all [[m:Wikimania|Wikimanias]] since 2007, and have attended numerous other wikimeets around the world (though mostly confined to Scandinavia of course). |
|||
| about my work = I was hired as a [[Fundraiser]] Production Coordinator in July 2011, and because of my experience with languages and translations in Wikimedia, I was asked to coordinate the translations of the fundraiser. This was turned into a [[m:Wikimedia Fellowships|Fellowship]], focusing on improving the translation experience for fundraiser translators. |
|||
I am currently working on improving the translation system and communication structure for all translations on Meta, as well as working with the [[Localisation team|i18n team]] on several issues. |
|||
I started to work in the Wikimedia Foundation in July 2011, as a [[Job openings/Fundraiser Production Coordinator|Fundraiser Production Coordinator]], and as such helped set up banners, landing pages and CentralNotice campaigns for the 2011 Fundraiser, but had a special focus on coordinating the translations of the fundraiser and simplifying the translation process. I am currently expanding on that work, to streamline the translation process on [[m:|Meta]] to make it easy to use both for translators and for those requesting translations. |
