Hug them all

A little post just to do an overview about the first Mozilla Free Hugs Party, last Saturday. Everyone was very motivated on both sides: volunteers and persons present during the event. Of course, it isn't very usual to see a big plush walking in the Parisian streets, even less one with a Free Hugs notice:

Free hugs Firefox in Paris

But people were globally very friendly and participated with joy. The event was also the occasion for some discussions about Mozilla. If some knew about Firefox and / or used it, not much knew Mozilla or Mozilla Europe.

You can find all pictures on Clarista's Flickr...
Thanks to all the volunteers for their help, it was a lot of fun. An event to do again :)

Câlins !


Free as in Free Hugs, not as in Free Beers !

You use Firefox... or not ?
You know what is Free Software ... or not ?
You know what is a Free Hug ... or not ?

First day of the summer, last day of exams' period for most students, we will take the occasion to organize a Mozilla Event: a Free Hugs party.
In Paris, place de l'Odéon, on Saturday, at 3:00 p.m., we invite everyone to come, learn what is a free software and especially what is Mozilla Firefox. And the firefox will be there !!!

So don’t have any hesitation to come and invite your friends: the more, the merrier !

Websites I find usefull

Oh My God, I just been flashed by Kaze and Delphine. No way, I can't run away.

Five rules:

  • Copy the rules in the beginning or at the end of your post
  • Link to the person who tagged you
  • Give the 5 websites you find useful, or that you use the most. Try to explain why!
  • Tag 5 people, and let them know they’ve been tagged
  • The meme doesn't have to stay in English :-)

Five websites:

  • GeekInc: my Firefox start page. I'm a redactor on this blog but I really like watching podcasts and reading articles of my colleagues. French speaking only.
  • Standblog: best author about standards on the Web, an amazing "boss"and somebody I admire. Both English and French.
  • April: a French association working for promoting and protecting Free Software.
  • Twitter: I'm a Twitter addict, I use this website to do technologic-watched. Reecently, I tried Identi.ca, Free Twitter-like, it's better but there is less persons on it.
  • TellMeWhere: a website where you can find restaurants, pubs, note them and share them with your friends. Really easy to use, in French and in English.
