Explain your plan

[edit]

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you.

  • I am a Venezuelan contributor to the Wikimedia project since 2021, currently working as a rollbacker/editor/translator/article creator in Wikivoyage Spanish, as well as recently in other areas such as Wikidata editing items, and contributing multimedia content in Wikimedia Commons. My current PC is not the most suitable to continue contributing to this project as it is about +10 years old, making it impossible to edit and sometimes, I have lost an entire editing job because the PC simply runs out of memory and tends to shut down, losing the whole process. I work independently but in the current context I can't afford to buy a new machine to meet the basic needs for this kind of tasks. Therefore, by getting a new laptop it is possible for me to contribute without problems or to keep my contributions saved without fear of them being lost.

  5. Raymvc97 (talk) 00:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC) Juan is incredible, he is a passionate about publishing, and he really deserves to be supported so that he continues to be part of the movement; and make the platform grow more and more, knowing the complications that living in Venezuela implies, often because he does not have a laptop he cannot participate as much as he would like.[reply]
