Open Source is key to Google’s foundations—as early as 2006, the company started an initiative to bring containers to the Linux Kernel. The Google Open Source Programs Office was started within Google to bring all the resources of Google to Open Source, and benefit from the value of this sector. Google has created dozens of open source projects, like Android, Kubernetes, and Golang, among others. Their commitment also includes partnering with open source organizations to fund projects; an example of this is the Wikimedia Deutschland partnership to develop Wikidata. Google also champions projects like schema.org, a collaborative initiative to create schemas for structured data on the Internet. They look forward to connecting at WikidataCon 2021 to share more about their contributions to Wikidata, and to explore other collaborations they could create together with the community. 

The Graphiq Amazon Alexa team works to make Alexa smarter via a wide range of knowledge sources, including Wikidata, to share knowledge with the world via voice technology. The team is happy to support Wikidata’s and Wikimedia’s missions as a partner.
