=== Basic information ===

* When? Monday 5 October 2009
* Where? Chant d'Oiseau [http://www.chant-oiseau.be/], Brussels
* Who? A maximum of 30 participants (limited room)

=== Objectives of the discussion ===
* To explore the possibilities of setting up a Francophone CoP 'a la KM4DEV'
* To identify volunteers to work on setting it up
* To gather enough elements to prepare a proposal for funding

=== The sequence of the discussion ===
This discussion will really urge volunteers (and perhaps some other people that we know have something to say about such a francophone CoP) to come and share their ideas on such a Francophone CoP in terms of:
* Scope of the CoP: same as global KM4DEV?
**What services / products to develop? (community wiki, annual event, website etc.)
**Focus on certain things to start with?
**Promote IKM topics Y/N?
**Relation with global KM4DEV (completely same branding but different language, partner, distinct etc. with bearings on governance, funding, organization of events, where to synthesise discussions etc. 

* Technical infrastructures: do we host a platform on the global KM4DEV CoP or a different system – what kind of tools do we want to use (bearing in mind that each system brings maintenance chores);

* Roles and responsibilities (who will do what) as regards:
**Setting up the CoP and inviting people to join, managing membership and other facilitation tasks that e.g. Lucie is taking care of;
**Synthesising discussions and other content work as required – perhaps including translations of key topics/summaries to/from global CoP;
**Maintaining the technical infrastructure (taking care of systems);
**Fund raising for the future; 

* Funding: what plans for the future of this CoP? 

At the end of that workshop we should have a plan to set up the mailing list and platform fairly soon, and some initial ideas to turn into a fundraising proposal to chase funding for this, perhaps together with KM4DEV.

=== Discussion report ===

On 5 October, a group of 17 people gathered to discuss the creation of a francophone KM4DEV community of practice. The full report of this discussion is available (in French) on: http://www.km4dev.org/group/km4devfrancophone/forum/topics/rapport-de-la-rencontre 

After a short introduction, the participants brainstormed in groups about some key elements of setting up a community of practice: 
* expectations about the value of this group 
* products and services that could come out of it
* facilitation of the group
* existing networks that the francophone group could cooperate with
* possible platforms to discuss, share documents and work together
* funding options

In order to support the coordination, a core group was formed, consisting of: Binetou, Jocelyne, Raphael, Philippe, Ewen, Hervé.

=== Action planning === 
In the later part of the discussion, the participants established an action plan to get the group going:
