Nicolas Vivant, Echirolles, France

France Numérique Libre was born in April 2025 when local authority IT managers decided to get together and exchange information on free software solutions and services.

Firmly rooted in the French opensource eco-system, it is supported by national associations and the French government, which is offering more and more open-source solutions to local authorities.

Open to the world and to new developments in the field, France Numérique Libre aims to accelerate the opensource dynamic in France, which is definitively gaining momentum.
