We have been approached by Wikimedia France who are organising, with the Wikimedia Foundation, a project meeting for the Usability Project in early November - see email below.
They have offered to fund the travel and accommodation of a UK-based person who is active in Wikimedia technology.
Is anyone on this list interested in attending? If so, please could you email me offlist with brief details of your technical experience on Wikimedia.

Subject: [Chapters] Multimedia Usability Project Meeting in France - Call for participation
Dear fellow chapter people,
Wikimedia France and the Wikimedia Foundation are organizing a meeting
in Paris on November 6-8, which is meant to find its place within the
Ford Grant about usability on Commons.
We have already about 25 participants confirmed, and we potentially
have a few spaces left. I would like to ask you if you knew of anyone
within the community who would be interested and useful to participate
in the meeting. Some of the chapters are already participating by
sending people, from the chapter and/or community (Wikimedia
Nederland, Wikimedia Polska, Wikimedia Australia, Wikimedia
Deutschland) and maybe we've missed people who are within your
"community of choice" and who would bring lots to the meeting.
...
You will find more info about the meeting here:

Thank you for your help,
Best,
Delphine
