Will visit Brazil to celebrate Official Year of Brazil in France… and participate to WFS2005

2005 is Official Year of Brazil in France … so that’s a very good time for visiting Brazil.

I will probably do so, as I’m going to participate to the 6th International Free Software Forum, which will be held betw. june 1-4, 2005 in Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil. I will be part of the technical committee of the WFS2005 – 6th Workshop on Free Software.

Now, all I have to do is start learning portugese / brazilian 😉

UPDATE : I have uploaded the slides of my presentation to the PFTCR project’s page : Integration of libre software for in-house application – Strategy for contributions – Example of the ProGET collaborative work platform for researchers at GET.

Mise en ligne essai syndication news des progets de recherche GET : Planet ProGET

J’ai mis en ligne Planet ProGET, un essai de syndication des nouvelles des projets de recherche GET.

Ce n’est qu’un test pour l’instant… les nouvelles ne sont donc à prendre que comme des tests, et non quelque chose d’officiel pour le GET 😉

INRIA launches its Open Archive in April 2005

Read in Urfist infos : INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) is about to launch an Open Archive dedicated to its scientific publications.

I hope it will promote a more open approach in the french scientific community in general, and inspire a new way to think about strategies for valorisation of scientific works.
