Born in France, living in Germany, working around the world, I have a long experience in anything intercultural. I have been active in the Wikimedia projects and the Wikimedia organisations since 2004 and have been observing how Open Knowledge evolves and changes with time and as new people come in.

I am happy to talk about Wikimedia (the organisation, the non-profit aspect, the chapters, the international aspects), the Wikimedia projects (their international reach and presence), but also about Collaboration on an international level, especially in Open Source and Free knowledge fields.
