France report

CNES, Musée Bourdelle

CNES

The Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) is our second scientific contact for 2018. He is in charge of French space program and produce baseline data for laboratories. The CNES is very involved in climate issues and has helped to boost the Space Climate Observatory. This is an open data-oriented project on the theme of climate (in sustainable development sense).

Several areas of work were mentioned: organization of an event to present Wikipedia at the CNES, provision of data for Wikidata, organization of an edit-a-thon around climate to ensure the integration of these data and the use of the CNES project library within Wikipedia articles.

Musée Bourdelle

The Musée Bourdelle was interesting in Wikimedia project. We have provided a training day for the staff members of the museum. They are interested in the idea of an edit-a-thon.

The french Glam project is still working on the strategy and should finalize it with the writing of arguments. The strategic plan is available in French here : m:Wikimédia France/Groupes de travail/Groupes thématiques/GLAM/Stratégie.
