Was the occasion to meet for true, lot of actors for free software use in French Education.

An abstract of the Education Topic is available here (french only)

As teacher myself, and French Education member, I can say the conf was excellent (I never annoyed myself !), and I have discovered very interesting tools, and solutions using free software in French Education Nationale.

An example, particulary interested me: was about mix students, teachers, documentalist, and network admin to discuss and research the best solution. Quite interesting, and very interesting questions too. Glad to have discussed (a lot as usual ) with Roberto Di Cosmo, always impressive :-)

Last but not least, I learned that Free software, when compared to propriatory software, take the advantage, because of soupleness and response time when a problem or whatever occurs.
