“The Wikimedia Foundation is honored to become an official member of the Digital Public Goods Alliance. This membership reaffirms our commitment to the importance of open knowledge as a public good, ensuring it remains accessible, rights-based, and governed in the public interest. Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other Wikimedia projects show how hundreds of thousands of people working together across borders can create and maintain free and open knowledge infrastructure built in the public interest. As the host of these projects, we look forward to sharing our learnings and collaborating more closely with fellow DPGA members who share our vision of an internet that protects and promotes community-led spaces,” said Jan Gerlach, Public Policy Director at the Wikimedia Foundation.

“We warmly welcome the Wikimedia Foundation to the Digital Public Goods Alliance. Wikipedia and Wikidata have long demonstrated the transformative power of open, community driven digital public goods to advance access to knowledge worldwide. The organization’s leadership in strengthening open knowledge infrastructure and advocating for digital public goods will further strengthen the global DPG ecosystem and support more inclusive and equitable access to trusted knowledge online,” said Liv Marte Nordhaug, CEO of the DPGA Secretariat.
