The French administration recently announced https://code.gouv.fr, a website listing more than 9000 repositories from the French public sector. What next?

In this lightening talk, I want to quickly explain how we built this and what we find in these repositories. The core of my talk will be about what valuable services we aim to provide to public agencies on top of this list, depending on who they are and what they need. As this topic is partly speculative, we are eager to engage with the audience in a short discussion on what they think would be valuable.

French citizens have a right to request source code developed by their administration. This includes source code developed by public research labs. But the research sector has a distinct place in the "public code" landscape. It produces open source gems like scikit-learn, and many researchers contribute to Free Software, but some source code is never published because public labs are requested to use them as assets for new startups. This talk will explore this distinct place, the work that has been done in France to promote the publication of research source code and the challenges ahead.

Conférence-débat avec le public sur la stratégie à adopter face aux GAFAM.

Puisque les utopies concrètes se multiplient pour échapper aux GAFAM, et puisque nos gouvernements poursuivent leurs grands projets de censurer le Web, ne serait-il pas tentant de leur laisser les GAFAM en pâture, ne serait-ce que pour gagner du temps ? Mais pouvons-nous vraiment abandonner les utilisateur·rices des GAFAM à leur sort ? N'est-il pas illusoire de prétendre pouvoir tous·tes partir des GAFAM, dans n'importe quelle situation ? À l'inverse, si nous aidons leurs utilisateur·rices, n'est-ce pas aussi aider ces géants et renforcer leur pouvoir ? La Quadrature du Net vous invite à débattre collectivement de ce difficile dilemme.
