Usuari:Notafish
If you want to be sure that I don't forget what you've told me, prefer email delphine CHEZ notafish PUNTO org over IRC, and I am delphine or notafish on IRC. I tend to be a notagoldfish on IRC though, 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 :)
Who

. - 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 three 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 worked for three years as Chapters coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation, half of it as a paid consultant. I worked as a training consultant in intercultural communication as well as in online and offline communication. I also did websites for wine producers. From 2016 to 2022, I have worked for the Wikimedia Foundation under the secret identity of Delphine (WMF), first as Program Officer for Annual Plan Grants then as Lead Orientation Specialist and finally as Manager of Staff Experience in Human Resources. I now work for APC as an HR Manager.
- 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.
- It seems that in 1775, I was actually a fish.

J'ai longtemps travaillé pour des agences et à mon compte. J'ai travaillé trois ans comme "chapters coordinator" pour la Wikimedia Foundation.

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 was an admin here, though.
- I was the "international" lead organizer for Wikimania 2005, Wikimania 2006 and Wikimania 2008.
- 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. I wrapped up my role as Chapters coordinator on September 30th, 2008.
- I was a member of the AffCom and then an adviser to the AffCom for the longest time.
- I have been on the board of Wikimedia France from 2006/07 and 2009/10 as a treasurer. I was a member of the board of Wikimedia Deutschland from 2010, I was treasurer in 2011 and vice-president until November 2013. I was an elected member of the Funds Dissemination Committee from 2013 to 2015.
- I have worked for the Wikimedia Foundation until the beginning of 2022. I worked first as Program Officer for Annual Plan Grants, I was the Strategy Liaison between the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement strategy process and I worked in HR, as a Lead Orientation Specialist and as a Manager of Staff Experience.
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 see Wikimedia develop into a structured and strong international organisation, able to sustain the projects and what they stand for, ie. free knowledge for all.
