About

We're a small LUG (but growing) in a rural area called Cévennes in France. We are also eager to promote libre music and culture, and open formats such as ODT and OGG. With meager resources we help complete newbies, make complete installations of Ubuntu for them, give them lessons.

We have spruced up six old computers that were given to us by people, an installed Ubuntu-Gutsy, Xubuntu-Feisty, Debian Lenny, Puppy-Linux, and we have made them accessible to the public in the local library. We play libre music from Jamendo in the library, and we have burned quite a few albums for a small group which serves vegetarian meals.

In view of the next local election (march 2008) we are getting a few candidates to sign up "Le Pacte du Logiciel Libre" launched by APRIL, a French nation-wide organization for libre software which we are a member of.

We're in the midst of organizing some event for "Le Libre en Fête", a nation-wide feast in France, and for the Document Freedom Day.
