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

In the last years, April has been one of the most active players in promoting Free Software, and it has also been deeply involved in all discussions related to open formats, DRM and the French DADVSI law. Our recent membership in April is a way for us to provide our support and gratitude to all actions undertaken by this association and to affirm our commitment to promoting open standards and Free Software (of which Java is now a part) of which APRIL is the most ardent defender.
