Candidate details	Galder Gonzalez at the 2019 Wikimedia Summit Personal: Name: Galder Gonzalez Country: Basque Country (Spain) Languages: Basque, Spanish, English Editorial: Main wiki(s): euwiki, wikidata, commons Wikimedian since: 2006 Top expertise (see the matrix): {{{expertise}}}
Wikimedia movement experience	I started as a wikimedian really early, in 2006. I have been mainly collaborating at my main wiki, but since 2017 I have been involved in the Wikimedia movement. I'm currently an staff member at the Basque Wikimedians User Group, where I work mainly on our education program. As a devoted wikimedian on education, I was part of the team which organized the first Wikimedia+Education conference. I have been part of the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy team, focusing on Diversity. I have volunteered in other Wikimedia events, such as Wikimania. As a volunteer, I also like to help small Wikipedias to work with automatic templates from Wikidata, a project where I also spend some volunteering time. I have organized the WLM contest three times in the Basque Country and I have a broad knowledge about how we are organized.
Team collaboration experience	I have worked on communications before, especially co-ordinating big campaigns, so I can work with a team. I have also volunteered at the Movement Strategy and I'm experienced working both online and asynchronous.
Statement (not more than 400 words)	As a member of the Basque Wikimedians User Group, I have a good approach of what is happening in smaller wikis and smaller communities. During the Movement Strategy (long) discussion I had a good perspective on how we should handle differences and go beyond our current status. I think I can be useful in this moment, as the Movement Charter will handle many of the arguments we had about governance during those long long long online and offline discussions.
