<a href="http://lsm.abul.org">Libre Software Meeting</a> and |
|
our working group sent an <a href="UnescoInvitation.pdf">invitation</a> to the |
|
UNESCO Director General, M. Koïchiro Matsuura, to present the Free Software |
|
community and give him copies of some of our work |
|
(The <a href="http://www.abuledu.org">AbulEdu</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.debian.org">Debian</a> and |
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a> projects to be more precise). |

We got an answer from Abdul Waheed Khan, UNESCO |
|
Communication and information department, telling us the Director General |
|
wasn't available at this date |
|
(<a href="UnescoAnswer.pdf">answer in digital version</a> and |
|
<a href="UnescoAnswer.jpg">snail mail scan</a>). So UNESCO was |
|
represented by M. Abdoulaye Diakité. |
|
|
|
</p><p> |
|
|
|
<em>"UNESCO has always supported the extension and dissemination of human |
|
knowledge and recognizes that, in the domain of software, Free Software |
|
disseminates human knowledge in a way proprietary software cannot do. |
|
UNESCO recognizes also that the development of Free Software encourages |
|
solidarity, collaboration and voluntary community work amongst programmers |
|
and computer users."</em> |

A round table took place with the participation of Anne Ostergaard from |
|
<a href="http://www.sslug.dk/">SSLUG (Denmark)</a>, Philippe Aigrain |
|
from the European Commission, Abdoulaye Diakité from UNESCO, François |
|
Pellegrini from <a href="http://abul.org">ABUL</a> as chairman and |
|
Benoît Sibaud, coordinator for our project on the scene, as well as many |
|
LSM participants in the audience. Sébastien Blondeel acted as translator. |
