About me

My name is Ivan, I'm an editor on Spanish Wikipedia and Wikinews. Also, I'm the president of the Wikimedia Mexico chapter, and lead coordinator of Wikimania 2015. Former member of the Grant Advisory Committee. Strongly committed to all my free knowledge initiatives. In my (few) free time I write poetry under the pen name Protoplasma Kid.
