This is not Anthere's page; this is a page about her. There is a difference. As any wiki page, one may freely edit it. Anthere, naturally, may revert it as well.
I became a member of the Advisory board of Wikimedia Foundation.
Co-founder of the association Wikimedia France at the end of 2004, I stayed for a long time on its board. I decided at the end of 2012 to stop my involvement as vice-president of its board of directors.
In real life, I am manager of international projects and may also be a public speaker or advisor. Check out my website: devouard.org or my linkedin profile.
I conceived and then run various projects related to Wikimedia projects. In the recent years, this is particularly the case of
- Wiki Loves Africa an annual photography contest whose theme changes each year, with a common context: Africa;
- m:Kumusha Takes Wiki, an outreach project in Uganda and Côte d'Ivoire (2013-2015);
- m:Wiki Loves Women, a project initially meant to release content on African women in Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Ghana (2016-2017), which morphed into an initiative to upskill and inspire women lead organizers;
- m:WikiFundi, a software that provides off-line editing environment that mimics the Wikipedia environment. It allows training and contribution when technology, access and electricity outages fail or are not available at all
- c:ISA Tool, a microcontribution tool to add structured data to Wikimedia Commons images
- m:WikiChallenge Ecoles d’Afrique, an annual writing contest in French speaking Africa primary schools
- m:WikiAfrica Hours, a vodcast
- etc.
I am a participant to the French and English versions of Wikipedia since February 2002, sometimes of other wikimedia projects. For several years, I was m:Steward and part of the Wikipedia:Mediation Committee on the English-speaking Wikipedia at its start (2002 or 2003?). I have a status of administrator on the English and French versions of Wikipedia, on meta and commons, as well as a status of bureaucrat on fr:
From an association/usergroup perspective...
- I co-funded m:Wikimedia France back in 2004 and was on its board for some years
- I am a founding member of m:Wiki in Africa
- and treasurer of m:WikiFranca
- Also very involved in offline wikimedian Usergroups, les sans pagEs
And ... for those who could have escaped (is it possible?), I am a m:WikiWoman, I am 55 years old and have three kids.

- Conflict of interest disclosure
I currently serve in the general role of Wikimedian-in-residence for WIPO in a part-time compensated role. My first goal is to make mutually beneficial contributions to Wikipedia, possibly Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, based on content published by WIPO under a free licence, or based on collaboration with subject matter experts. The second is to increase the understanding of how our community operates through training and coaching of WIPO staff. My third goal is to identify sources of interesting content, and future paths of collaboration. As a veteran Wikipedian since 2002, former steward, and an administrator on English Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and meta, I strive to abide by the Wikimedia movement's accepted policies and Terms of Use on conflicts of interest. This being said, I am faillible, so do not hesitate to reach out to me in case anything I do as part of this WIR role seems questionable to you.
