In September, 2012 was published a circular, signed by the French
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, which presents "Orientations and
Recommendations relative to the Use of Free Software in French
Administration". This document is the result of an interdepartmental
work carried out by the DISIC ("Direction interministérielle des
systèmes d'information et de communication", Interdepartmental
Direction Directorate of information systems and communication).
