In France, no association represents Free Software and its values better than April

Testimony during April's 10th birthday in November 2006.

For 10 years April has been conducting substantive work that is essential to the existence of our company. Without its endless willingness to explain the issues of the sector, without their determination to preserve a healthy competition in the software market, Mekensleep would have thrown in the towel long ago. In France, no association represents Free Software and its values better than April
