Framasoft
Framasoft is an education-oriented social network created in November 2001 by Alexis Kauffmann, Paul Lunetta, and Georges Silva. Since 2014, it has been supported by a nonprofit organization of the same name based in Lyon, France. Mainly focused on free software valorisation, it is divided into three main branches of activity based upon a collaborative model: promotion, dissemination, and development of free software, enrichment of the free culture movement, and online services.
Framasoft is one of the main French language portals to the free and open-source culture providing a space for orientation, information, news, exchange, and projects. Its community regularly brings resources and assistance to people who would like to get started with free software. They also partner with people wishing to replace their proprietary software with open-source solutions at any step of the migration from proprietary to free software, such as Microsoft Windows to Linux.
The entire Framasoft production is provided under free license in order to promote participation and enable anyone to benefit from it. Framasoft explicitly states that it operates as a non-profit organization, distinct from corporate entities.
Framasoft network has around thirty projects with as many websites, usually named with a prefix "frama" and an independent ".org" as domain name. Those projects belong to three main categories: free and open-source software, free culture and open-source online services.
In October 1998, Publication in ''Québec Science'' magazine of "Comment informatiser intelligemment les écoles" (How to put information technology in schools in a smart way) by Jean-Claude Guédon. "This article stroke Alexis Kauffmann so much that we can consider it to have led to the creation of Framasoft".
November 2001 is the official date of the creation of Framasoft website, which is the first network created by mathematic teacher Alexis Kauffmann. The name comes from "Framanet" (for FRench and MAthematics on an intraNET), an educational project made with Caroline d'Atabekian, a literature teacher, within a Seine-Saint-Denis middleschool. Framasoft began as a software section of this project, before getting its independence, acting as a free software directory for Windows.
In June 2002, Framasoft and AFUL started the campaign « Libérons les logiciels à l'école » ("Let's free softwares at school"). In September 2002, the website included tutorials and an open forum.
In July 2003, the website closed due to bandwidth overload on the shared host Amen. The website receives widespread support and Amen became a partner of Framasoft, offering new hosting possibilities .
