[Translator's note]
During the elective periods when either the French President, the French Parliament, the French Senate or the French regional or local authorities are renewed, April offers through its "Candidats.fr" initiative the possibility to candidates to sign a statement indicating that they intend to defend and promote Free Software. In light of this experience, April has decided to extend this initiative and offer to individuals (as opposed to candidates) to sign a statement indicating that they use Free Software, in order to demonstrate their support for this cause.
