Hello,
The french association Wikim�dia France was officially created today in Paris.
After a full day rererereading bylaws, changing articles (again...) and correcting typos, and just stopping for lunch, all fondators physically present signed the final documents.
We were actually slower than expected, and we ended up in an internet cafe to print final bylaws before signing them, since we had to leave the meeting room before being done :-)
The foundators are 20. Those not physically present will sent proxy voting in the next few days to Ryo.
We had to refuse a few candidate foundators, as they had not offered the necessary information in time (name, adress etc...).
2 foundators (present on irc) also decided not to sign the bylaws.
On monday the 25th, a meeting on irc of all foundators will allow to elect a board of 5 to 9 people. 12 people are candidate.
On thursday, on irc again, all board members will elect their president, secretary and treasurer.
------
All in all, though a tiring day, it was a very interesting moment for all of us and a real pleasure to meet new people and to see others again :-)
Anthere
