Conference about Gnome in my french school
Dear Sirs, Before everything else, I will introduce myself. I am actually a french student. I am studying for my engineer degree in computer sciences. My school teaches us a lot of different contents during the formation. There are some conferences during the 3 last years of this formation, during which students can listen to professionals working in their future domain. Unfortunately, a very few are about Linux world or just explain some very tricky points. A lot of students are thinking that Linux is only for scientific and hard problems resolution. Personally, I don't think so, so I want to show this point of view to students of my school. I think that Gnome helps to make the Linux world more user-friendly and make able non-fully qualified people to access to the Linux provided tools. With this goal in mind, I would like to organize a conference in my school, also in french language, with for title Linux is for common users too or something like that. Before to go to my school's administration, I would like to speak to some Gnome involved people. So I wish I am writing to the correct list. For information, the person in the CC field is a school-friend. Thank you very much for reading me. Hoping we can make something together.

I'm not sure who would be able to go to Tours (it's likely easier for people in Paris than for others), but we can try to make it work. We can discuss all this on the gnome-fr-list, I suggest you join it and start a thread there :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Tours is easily accessible from Orleans, Nantes and Paris - not so much from Lyon, Belgium, Alsace or the south (where most of the French GNOMEys I know are from). But I am sure we can work something out. Rendez-vous prise on gnome-fr-list Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary GNOME Foundation member dne...@gnome.org Jabber: nea...@gmail.com ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: Conference about Gnome in my french school
Unfortunately, a very few are about Linux world or just explain some very tricky points. If you're talking about the use of the GNU operating system, with Linux as kernel, please don't call it the Linux world. That would be giving us none of the credit. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html. I think that Gnome helps to make the [GNU/]Linux world more user-friendly and make able non-fully qualified people to access to the [GNU/]Linux provided tools. That's the reason we developed it. Gnome was meant to provide the GNU system with a free (libre) and convenient GUI. I would like to organize a conference in my school, also in french language, with for title Linux is for common users too or something like that. This is a useful thing to do, and I know free software activists in France who can find people to come and speak. I suggest calling the event GNU/Linux is for everyone. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
