The RMLL are one of the main french meeting around free software. I
attended it from Jully 9 to Jully 12 and will report here on the
purpose nof keeping experience from it.
Just now I have no Internet connection, DSL being closed since last
thunderstorm, I only connect from McDonald, so dont expect too much
responsiveness from me :-(
* Organisation
The main organisation was pretty loose, the web site was open only one
month before the meeting and room reservation only 15 days before.
The meeting was with two parts: the first two days (week end) was
"JGP" (Large Public Days). It was done under tents, on one of the main
Strasbourg market place (good), but the theme of the two days was
vague (we should have done an artwork with the public, to make it see
the free software in use).
The net result was that there where very little boots (less than 10)
and nearly none followed the theme. The Public was not there. I don't
know what kind of advertisement was done. Strasbourg is a very nice
town, extremely pleasant to visit.
On the sunday morning the local news paper wrote a full page on the
RMLL subject (extremely nice) - alas the day was rainy and making
computer work under the rain is quite difficult, even dangerous, so we
didn't had the expected success.
That said, the public that come was veri friendly. Dispite the
mandatory theme we could have openSUSE boot, thanks to Jimmy Pierre.
The DVD where spread on a common commercial boot driven by the organisers
