Recycling computer handled by LoCo-team Reacting to jono's post about using Linux to recycle computers: This is a great idea, of course, and really valuable project. Nevertheless, I think you largely understimate the load of work to complete to achieve such a thing. Personnally speaking, I have been involved during a full year on a non-governemental organization which, every year with a new team[1], collect computers from industry, upgrade/repair/trash them (we received a lot of garbains, which can't work with current standard desktop) and then ship them in schools from Africa. 07 January 2009

Ubuntu Party Paris : c'est ce week-end ! J'inaugure donc ce blog (hé oui, écrire sur le blog de suivi d'ubuntu-fr m'a donné le virus) avec un billet pour vous rappeler l'imminence de l'Ubuntu Party dans sa version parisienne. Nous serons à nouveau au carrefour numérique de la cité des sciences et de l'industrie de la Villette. Voici donc ce qui vous attend et pour vous donner l'envie de venir à cette party : que vous soyez non initié (et souhaitez seulement découvrir ubuntu), novice (pour vous informez et perfectionnez), ou encore confirmé (on a toujours quelque chose à apprendre). 28 November 2008
