Salut Hélène,
Je pense que l'idée c'est que tout comme Wikipedia est l'encyclopédie que n'importe qui peut éditer, tout le monde est bienvenu à Wikimania. En 2014, je me suis occupé du stand d'exposition WMUK dans le hall de la Barbican à Londres toute la semaine, et j'ai été ravi de parler de Wikipédia, Wikimedia, notre travail et nos espoirs et nos rêves à des dizaines de «non-wikimédians» qui sont venu et qui ensuite sont parti voulant contribuer . Il y avait aussi des nombreux francophones. J’ai assisté à plusieurs Wikimanias. I think the idea is that just as Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, anyone is welcome to come to Wikimania. In 2014 I looked after the WMUK stall in the lobby at the Barbican in London and I was thrilled to talk about Wikipedia, Wikimedia, our work and hopes and dreams to dozens of 'non-wikimedians' who came and then went away wanting to contribute. There were plenty of French speakers among them too. I’ve been to several Wikimanias.
