I remember that, excellent initiative :-) I'm not sure how it explains what happened during the wikiconvention though. I was connected to #wikidata-fr today and read a conversation on this topic, involving you and Harmonia Amanda (which I will not quote here because I assume this is not a good behavior to quote from channels that are not logged). The general tone was unfriendly and made me feel unwanted as a contributor. It also made me realize that my efforts to bring more French people / organizations to wikidata were mocked and unappreciated. As a volunteer I value good relationships even more than technical contributions. For this reason I will distance myself from the wikidata French community. I hope to return in the future when a more welcoming context has been established.
