I have talked some days ago on IRC with Gerald ([[v:User:Historybuff]]) about the creation of the Canadian chapter. I would like both to express my joy about this project and to say that Wikimedia France would be very glad to collaborate with Wikimedia Canada in the future.

I am sure all existing chapters will be glad to share the experience they've got across the years, but as a member of the French chapter board, I wanted to say it explicitly :)

Merci de votre encouragement. Je sais bien que beaucoup pourrait se faire après que nous aurons survécu les formalité légales.

If you want to collaborate on any project, please let us know. There is some existing promotional material, and more are on their way.

The French chapter is also organizing the « Premier colloque francophone sur Wikipédia » (its Wikipedia academy) in October in Paris and we would be glad to see members of the brand new Canadian chapter.

Je regrette que je ne pourrai pas y assister. Ma femme s'inquiète déjà de ce que je dois dépenser pour me rendre à Taipei. Espérons que votre chapitre sera représenter à Wikimania 2007.
