Hi everyone,

I am glad to announce, on behalf of my peers from Wiki*Franca*, that this year's edition of the francophone contribution month [1] starts today and will end on the 31st of March. During that time, 55 workshops will take place in Belgium, Benin, Cameroun, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Guinea, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, Tchad and Tunisia. A couple more are likely to join the list as we go.

If you're feeling francophone, don't hesitate to participate or set up your own event through the discussion page.

Context: The francophone contribution month is an annual event that usually takes place in March. In 2013, Benoît Rochon launched the first edition with a handful of other participating countries. It is a project supported by Wiki*Franca *[2], a cooperating initiative based on a shared language and similar interests in wikimedia projects.
