About me
Salutations :) I grown up on a French family farm between fields and wildlife-full forests. Travels, sciences and community values run deep in our familial DNA, so Wikipedia and multiculturalism were natural paths to walk. I've been academically curious with a bachelors in History and Natural Language Processing, a Master of Chinese language and e-learning and an MBA in Technology and Innovation (Taiwan). I now work as a e-learning professional, web app developer, MOOC creators (22 OpenEdx), and small projects manager. When student, I lived 5 years in Taiwan and 6 months in India, which I consider my 2nd and 3rd homes due to friend-family there.
My work
As Wikimedian since 2004, I mostly edit articles or listen-coordinate projects. I've been the creator and lead listener-coordinator of the Graphic Labs and Map workshop, which created or improved 15,000+ images and maps. We pushed with few others for Wikipedia Cartographic guidelines. I had nearly similar role on the CJK Stroke Order Project, the Ancient Chinese Characters Project (~15,000 files), and the Wikimedia France's rapid audio recording system LinguaLibre.org. My encyclopedic contributions are various, with a track record on Chinese culture, contemporary social conflicts and Human rights. I've been administrator of Wikipedia FR and Commons between 2005 and 2008.
We may have met up at Wikimania 2007,'13,'14,'17,'18,'19,'21, Hackathons 2013,'14,'17,'18,'19, Wikiconvention francophone 2016.

Each map is a stack of separated layers. Each layer is one major step within the workflow of encyclopedic map making.
①: Layers from GIS data: ➊. NASA topographic data ; ➋. Shaded relief (processed from ➊); ➌. NaturalEarth political divisions and watersways; ➍. OSM roads and urban areas ; ➎. Reprojection (if needed); ➏. Layers' pilling & styling in vector editor; ②: Additional layers to design : ➐. Semantics: legends, icons, scale, north arrow, localizator, topographic legend are drag&drop-added, then selected & edited to create the needed toolbox; ➑. Addition of shapes & icons upon the map to represent the selected encyclopedic informations.
