My name is Lucas (pronounced /ly.'ka/) and I work in the field of Natural Language Processing and Human-Robot Interaction. I began contributing to Wikimedia projects with the French-speaking Wiktionary a few years ago, during my studies. Shortly after, I heard from the Cabal of Lyon about Wikimédia France's Lingua Libre project thanks to the the local group from Lyon (France), and started contributing immediately.
I mostly contribute to the Lingua Libre project, by recording words and phrases (pronounced by myself or by other people), administrating and raising awareness about the project. I had the opportunity to present Lingua Libre at various in-person and remote training sessions, and at online events like Wikimania.
I was a Lingua-Librist in Residence during the summer 2021. I worked on improving Lingua Libre in various ways, with the aim of including the diversity of French accents in the Dictionnaire des francophones. I also co-organised ContribuLing, an yearly event dedicated to minority language communities and collaborative projects to empower them.
