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.

I am happy to talk about almost any aspect of Wikimedia/Wikipedia, including workshop/tutorial, governance, privacy, biographies of living people, interaction with museums and organizations, nonprofit strategy, culture, licensing, copyright/patent/trademark issues, Wikipedia in schools, gender balance and gender issues, humor, free speech/censorship, quality, and internationalism.

(I can briefly cover technical infrastructure, but would recommend others to give a full talk.)

I can also talk about free culture and free content licensing in general.
