A new step for Free Software in the Vercors Natural Park
Logo PNRV
After some Free sessions last year and the one before aimed at people, the Vercors Natural Park goes ahead a step beyond, organising an event for showing off Free Software to local communities. This Free session will take place on the 19th of May and will be targetted at people working for institutions and public communities, showing them that using Free Softawre is possible, sometimes more efficient, and fits better with the idea of a public service. Once again, I’ve been called to coordinate this day long event.
After a quick presentation of what Free Software is, we will show the benefits of a Free server, from file sharing to collaborative working, with an emphasis on where the cost goes and the advantages of contributing back to chosen projects. The afternoon will begin with a presentation of special software useful for public needs. And we’ll end that day with more one to one talks and workshop around softwares and concepts seen before, aiming at answering peculiar questions from the present people.
I’ll try to write an abstract of this day afterwards.
