Wikipedia loves you
Hello, my real name is Florence Nibart-Devouard. I currently serve as the Contributing User Representive to the Board and am the vice-chair of the Wikimedia Foundation ([1] (http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?a1=DETFIL&n1=N03000005323&n2=NAMFWD&n3=0000&n4=N&r1=&r2=&r3=&r4=WIKIMEDIA&r5=)).

I was born in Versailles (France). I grew up in Grenoble, and have been living since then in several French cities, as well as Antwerpen in Belgium and Tempe in Arizona.
I am an engineer in Agronomy (ENSAIA (http://www.ensaia.inpl-nancy.fr/) and also holds a DEA in Genetics and biotechnologies (INPL (http://www.inpl-nancy.fr/index.htm)). I have been working in public research, first in flower plant genetic improvement, and second in microbiology to study the feasability of polluted soil bioremediation. I am currently employed in a french firm, to conceive decision-making tools in sustainable agriculture. I joined the Wikipedia adventure in February 2002, first anonymously, then under the pseudonym Anthere.

I am 36, and live in Clermont Ferrand with my husband Bertrand and my two children, Anne-Gaëlle aged seven and William eight. I hope to have a third child soon.

Working Person's Barnstar, awarded to Anthere for her hours of tireless service to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation.

Board activities are usually very diverse and take variable amount of time. The last issues on which I have been giving most of my attention are

  • Legal issues : non compliant mirror of dutch, german and french content
  • Legal issues : Legal threats related to Front National and Carl Lang
  • Legal issue : legal threats and local chapters rights over the content (article 8,2,6 (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia%3AArticle_8.2.6)
  • Yahoo hosting and shortcuts announcement. I participated to the setting up of shortcuts, initiated by Yahoo France in october 2004, and help elaborate the common press release in french, between Wikimedia Foundation and Yahoo (see Press releases/Wikimedia Foundation annonce le soutien de Yahoo! (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikimedia_Foundation_annonce_le_soutien_de_Yahoo%21)]. I cover press feedback in french speaking countries. Announcement for sp and pt (seems dead though)
  • Mandriva DVD of wikipedia content in english, french and portuguese
  • Slowly working toward a m:Logo and trademark policy
  • I am trying to help the legal mailing list juriwiki-l@wikimedia to get organised.
  • Starting to work on my Wikimania talk
  • I am the executive editor of Wikimedia Quarto (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Quarto), the newsletter of the Foundation. I currently work on issue number 3 and 4.

"Only wimps use tape backup; real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it."—Linus Torvalds (Maybe apocryphal) Dpbsmith (talk) 20:36, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)



Just to be able to dream is already very important. Dreams while sleeping, dreams while awake.

I wish you dreams, numerous dreams, endless dreams...and a tremendous will to realise some of them.

I wish you to live with passion and to share your passions.
I wish you to love what should be loved; I wish you to forgive what should be forgiven. I wish you to forget what should be forgotten.
I wish you silences and a love of being alone.
I wish you birds' songs when you wake up. Flowers blooming and releasing their heavy perfume. The gentle sound of rain splashing on dry earth. Sand- and pollen-carrying winds. And children's laughs.
I wish you to love being with others. I wish you to listen and hear other people's dreams.
I wish you to resist indifference, violence, grey moods, lost friends, negative virtues, lack of ethics, and broken dreams (http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Utilisateur:Anthere&diff=377994&oldid=377993). I wish you not to sink.

Most of all, I wish you to be yourself.

Thought of the month

Et l'harmonie dans tout ça ?
y a un moment où ça me gonfle d'entendre parler de communauté libre et consensuelle pour écarter toute idée de règle. Alors qu'à la base une règle c'est fait pour l'harmonie, pas pour emmerder le monde ... w:fr:Utilisateur:Aurevilly.

A professor is holding a time-management course for managers. Without speaking a word, he puts a big glass on the table. The managers look interested. He takes some stones from the floor next to him, and puts them in the glass, until no more will fit.

He asks the audience "Is this glass full?"

"Yes!" they call out in unison.

Then the professor takes a bag of sand from the floor next to him, and pours it in on top of the stones, until the level reaches the brim of the glass.

He asks again "Is this glass full?"

One manager dares to say "...no?"

The professor takes a glass of water, and pours some of it over the stones and sand, until the glass will take no more.

The professor asks "What do we learn from this?"

Eventually one of them ventures: "...that we can always fit more appointments into our schedule, even if it seems to be full?"

The professor then says: "If you first put in all the small stones, afterwards you will never get the big stones into the glass. The same is true for the small and the really important things in your life..."
