Since February 2011, I had worked as a contractor for HOT US in a series of short term assignments in Haiti and Africa as a Project Manager (I can provide the whole list if anyone interested or feel necessary). The last one before March 2014 was as Senior Field Coordinator during 6 weeks in a training and field collection project for ICT4D (Information and Communications Technologies for Development) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia between October and November 2013 + 56 hours of remote support (14 have been completed).

Between March 2014 and March 2015,

• I have been a contractor for HOT as the Team Leader for a training and community mapping project in Lower Shire, Malawi for GFDRR (Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery) during 8 weeks + 120 hours of remote support. The contractual time is over now, I volunteer to follow up with the local interns that will finish their work by April
• I worked as a freelancer on OSM and GIS projects in documentation (first version of an Opendata GIS handbook), event facilitation (OSM booth in Casablanca Summerlab) and short term (1 to 3 weeks each) training and community building projects in French Speaking Countries in Western and Central Africa (Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Chad, Mali) for OIF (International Organization of Francophonie) or OIF contractors ((Association Malienne pour l’Eveil au Développement Durable - AMEDD and Association pour le Développement de l’Informatique Libre - ADIL). Those actions have been part of the OIF support to the Projet Espace OSM Francophone (ProjetEOF) in compliance with HOT US conflict of interests (COI) policy and practises.
• I also lectured around OSM and GIS in two French Universities (one paid, one volunteered) and one Senegalese Engineering School (volunteered)

In 2015, the HOT internship in Mongolia, that had been delayed due to the internal reorganization of the local partnering University, should eventually start in April and I may there complete the remaining 42 remaining hours as part of my contract.

If elected, as a board member, I will be acting in 2015 in compliance with HOT US conflict of interests (COI) policy and practises: informing the Board and excusing myself from the discussion and/or vote in case of COI.
