User:Seb35

I’m Sébastien Beyou from France, now retired sysop and simple editor on the French-language Wikipédia. Interested by MediaWiki since many years (2007), I didn’t contribute to the code by lack of time, but instead follow the developments, help some users, and translate into French [note: I’m pretty sure my English sentences are not correctly phrased; I would be very grateful if you correct them sometimes]. Since August 2013 — I have more time — I try to contribute in the MediaWiki code and/or around MediaWiki ecosystem (translation, documentation, quality, etc.).

I do hack various things since some years (author of some gadgets, lead one of the first mass-upload in 2010, author of one extension), and I sysadmin WMFR servers since about 5 years.

Since 2015 I propose a professional technical help to enterprises in France, which want to set up a beautiful MediaWiki instance, please see our company Wiki Valley.
