Bonjour, first of all, congratulations on caring for this project. Je te souhaite tout le succès du monde dans la promotion du logiciel libre. In order to talk about free software, it's always good to refer to its originator, Richard Stallman. The GNU.org website (disclaimer: I'm part of the webmasters team) has a philosophy section with a number of articles to understand to position of free software. I recommend reading: https://gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.fr.html https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.fr.html The first one explains a list of ambiguous or misleading terms, while the second reaffirms the importance of free software today. The GNU project also maintains a specific section on free software in education: https://gnu.org/education/education.fr.html The most important point in your case is "Why Schools Should Exclusively Use Free Software": https://gnu.org/education/edu-schools.fr.html Where are you located? Chances are, in France, that you will find a hackerspace near you (other disclaimer: I'm a staff member of this voluntary network), and many of them align with the ideas of free software. Check out https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/France Almost all programming language also have local user groups. Ask around! On Freenode's IRC #frlab a number of people may be able to direct you to relevant French resources. Happy hacking! == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJV+7EmXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9TFUP/0znl541lE3h5IWrzUv16GH7 sohYnsfoszwVbRBIIUSV4JYLvlTkL0UartZZEY3Nh/hMW8VSFWFejz1GgRWeGW67 vwFDFA0Mmle8QjDCWAU+N0hReHdwzthCbFPCOl/gYknfMsZLR/v91S8dIxq3uYBO 13HoEyjoZGdyJwroCQflWUlu5YGYJxTloDXG5jkVYPJCjXmTh7bRHGM0+Wj5/2Ld zNhw7rVCiZgOxjXY3JIXakek2+77oN6OX9mK+xLVIFjrrFqUTtUfSICKNt8ACoO0 jKcbMzqHARnNtiihuh6rCB94vp94r2XcK22wGIm03GdExbkmuooN0cbep8Q8r0BX iZnBAP/3+8jLeua8uMyke6DTSxwmlRFQLG1GdxmTiMJQMGB75aIpTFjpitBZNEkD ePaDd2Kok3r2qo5JpTaCQOY6kQqADfoeLHL4YLLHDLmgMrY1GGg+Kzy4L4mM8dCF oivq15k3uIKQlw/0pWNbjvY84s/U3eaa2pfRDNjoJGO4fDo/7ZPETGxjpVDcVhf/ 5HilBniMbm4PA3rEKqrYyvGg3OlqQxKqRif7i8Lah/Epwoa5Sf8j7K/HNQJ9lX9C +p8J31QEoUTK5IntaWCPgOC4wCDYkku6H5BOK3WICcf+kT2e7mTbGY+v5WrNEf5F c0Xx3Jua1niTItUg4sQT =+kF3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
