Free as in speech

Today, the founding members of the Debian France non-profit met during the RMLL in Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy; we signed the required papers and proceeded to the election of the board.

We’ve been working on setting up the Debian France non-profit for the past months, discussing the idea and drafting the legal documents. Now we need to incorporate, this is the last big step :-)

We’re all very happy now, and very excited to complete the last steps needed before we can open the membership and start to lobby more efficiently, among other things ;-)

The 12 founding members are :

• Julien BLACHE (DD)
• Cédric DELFOSSE (DD)
• Laurent FOUSSE (DD)
• Aurélien GÉRÔME
• Pierre HABOUZIT (DD)
• Raphaël HERTZOG (DD)
• Aurélien JARNO (DD)
• Sven LUTHER (DD)
• Xavier OSWALD (Debian-edu, Skolelinux-fr)
• Olivier PENINGAULT
• Ludovic RESLINGER
• Thierry STAUDER (Debian-edu, Skolelinux-fr)

Unfortunately, not everybody could make it to Vandoeuvre today. A big thank you to all the people who helped in the process, and continue helping today!
