As i am often on the road, you may want to check my schedule here.

If you want to be sure that I don't forget what you've told me, prefer email over IRC. I tend to be a notagoldfish on IRC, my memory just lapses.

C'est comme ça qu'on le dit en chinois.

notafish : inv. n. from English "not a fish" .
From Delphine, pronounced Delfin [de], or delfín [es] = dolphin, which, as everybody knows, is not a fish but a mammal
NB : notafish does not take a capital "n". Never. Ever. not even on this page :)

[edit] Who

  • Delphine Ménard, French, born in 1971, native of this city, where my roots still are: Carcassonne.
  • Chair of the Chapters committee and chapters coordinator of the Wikimedia Foundation.
  • I studied two years in the US, one year in Austria and hold a degree in Political sciences and a post graduate degree in international communication and marketing. I worked two years in the wine business, starting in the vineyard and the cellar for wine-making up to selling the wine world-wide. I then changed jobs and started to work as an event manager in 1999, and have organised conferences, trade-shows, roadshows, concerts, street animations...both BtoB and BtoC. I worked for many advertising agencies and as a freelancer. I then started training and working as a consultant in inter-cultural communication and strategic management. I work today as Chapters coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation.
  • I speak French (œuf corse), English, German, Italian and Spanish, and I live in Germany.
  • my Chinese name is 非魚. It comes from chapter QuiShui of Zhuangzi, a Chinese ancient philosophy book.
  • Delphine Ménard, française, née en 1971, racines à Carcassonne.
  • Chair du Chapters committee and Chapters coordinator de la Wikimedia Foundation.
  • J'ai étudié deux ans aux États-Unis, un an en Autriche et ai un diplôme de Sciences Politiques (IEP Bordeaux) et un DESS en communication internationale et marketing. J'ai travaillé deux ans dans le vin et la viticulture, commençant dans les vignes et la cave à m'amuser avec l'oenologie pour finir dans les bureaux à vendre du vin à travers le monde. J'ai ensuite changé de voie et travaillé comme chef de projet dans l'événementiel en 1999 et j'organise depuis toutes sortes d'événements, tant en BtoB qu'en BtoC, conférences, séminaires, roadshows, concerts, street marketing... J'ai longtemps travaillé pour des agences et à mon compte. Je me suis ensuite orientée vers le conseil, notamment dans le management stratégique et la communication interculturelle. Je travaille comme "chapters coordinator" pour la Wikimedia Foundation.
  • Je parle français (œuf corse), anglais, allemand, italien et espagnol et j'habite en Allemagne.

[edit] How

  • I joined the project in October 2004, through the Firefox crew picks, which provided a link to Wikipedia. I started editing the French Wikipedia and joined Commons at its beginnings, attracted by its multilingualism and its diverse community.
  • I became an admin on fr in January 2005, an admin on Commons sometimes later that same month. I became an admin on the French Wikinews much later, I'm not sure I am still an admin there. I am an admin here, though.
  • I became Chapter coordinator in August 2005, then helped create the Chapters committee in January/February 2006 and was hired part time by the Wikimedia Foundation as Chapters coordinator in February 2007.

[edit] Why

  • The real reason why I joined was because there was no article about Greta Garbo in the French Wikipedia. Now, there is one.
  • The reason why I stayed is because I met people, who became friends and who amazed me by their dedication (or was it addiction?). I got involved in Foundation affairs, helped organize Wikimania, got caught up in the whole thing...
  • I am interested in working to help the Foundation develop into a structured and strong organisation, able to sustain the projects and what they stand for, ie. free knowledge for all.

[edit] What

  • I am a member of the Chapters committee and chapters coordinator.
  • I don't edit much on the projects any more, but spend a lot of time "backstage".
