User:BDavis (WMF) - MediaWiki

I'm Bryan Davis (bd808 on irc; BryanDavis on Gerrit/Wikitech), a software engineer/engineering manager/product manager working for the Wikimedia Foundation. See my global user page on meta for more about me and less about what I'm doing.

• Who gets to use what I make? Who am I leaving out? How does what I make facilitate or hinder access?
• What data am I using? Whose labor produced it and what biases and assumptions are built into it? Why choose this particular phenomenon for digitization or transcription? And what do the data leave out?
• What systems of authority am I enacting through what I make? What systems of support do I rely on? How does what I make support other people?
• What kind of community am I assuming? What community do I invite through what I make? How are my own personal values reflected in what I make?

I am a hack designer, but I really do love helping make logos, stickers, t-shirts, and related things to celebrate projects and events. Some of my work is under a free license so I can share it here. Other works rely on a more liberal interpretation of fair use, but might be spotted on laptops and shirts at Wikimedia technical events.

A few talks that bring up issues that I like to think about:

• Yuvi Panda, "Stealing some of Wikimedia's Principles to Democratize Programming"
• Sumana Harihareswara, "Inessential Weirdnesses in Open Source Software"
• Allison Parrish, "Programming is Forgetting: Toward a New Hacker Ethic"

Some essays that have useful advice:

• Why are They always doing It wrong? – A reflection on community dynamics
• Risker's checklist for content-creation extensions
• Bug management/Development prioritization

• Notes
• Projects
