This year again, the French Mozilla community (and a part of Russian one) attended to the 10th Libre Software Meeting ("Rencontres mondiales du logiciel libre" for its French title) which took place in Nantes. This is one of the biggest FOSS events in France which gathers altogether free software communities, enterprises and local or national government employees during five days, to share experiences.

There were lots of people this year, geeks and real life people and we had very interesting conversations. This was also the occasion to meet old acquaintance from the other communities. The last day, like every year, Richard Stallman gave a conference, and the boothes were moved to another place, downtown in Nantes, in the Isle of Beaulieu. This new location allowed more people to come as it was really in the center of the city. As a bonus, we were located just aside the Machines of the Isle of Nantes and we could attend to the walking of the Royal de Luxe Elephant.

Well, this was a busy and exciting week and we are looking forward next year, where the event will take place in Bordeaux.
