Hi, I'm Owen, a queer British guy based in Cardiff, Wales.

I've been a Wikimedian since 2004, editing mainly on the English Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons. Off-wiki, I've been involved in mySociety and Open Rights Group, including membership of WMF's European Public Policy panel, and as a Climate activist; for my dayjob I work as a technologist at a consulting firm for the public sector.

In 2021, I took on some responsibilities within the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, including helping organise Queering Wikipedia for the 2021 Working Days and the conferences in 2022 and 2023, becoming chair of the WMLGBT+ board in June 2024. I also worked with Wikimedia Argentina and Art+Feminism on the English-language translation of their guide to queer biographies.

As of June 2023, I have contributed to 2 articles for Signpost; you can see my contributions at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Author/OwenBlacker.
