I think it's fine if the fundation pays Angela's travel expenses to Paris.

I have to add that it's Bruno Oudet who invited me to present Wikipedia to a 
meeting on "sharing information on the Internet" last January. He was also 
present during the presentation I made last May in Aix-en-Provence, in south 
of France.

So there is no doubt that his contributions will be helpful to the project.
