Session
During 15 years , I used Free Software, I know what are the several kind of contribution.
But what happen when a final user , and sometimes a client, want to have the best software for their needs ? First he used , he reports some bugs, he finance and after ?
In this conference, I'll explain what was my position about 2 "OW2" free software ( LemonLDAP::NG and FusionDirectory), from user to contractor inside the project's governance passing by co-forker in one case and how I was received by project's developper and company behind them.
I'll explain what the success factor and detailed some point of vigilance on each side.
