en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Free Foundation (Fondation Free) has published a booklet titled "Connecting Possibilities" on its 20th anniversary, reviewing two decades of action in digital technology popularization, free software support, and open internet accessibility. Supported by Free, the foundation has been committed since 2006 to making digital technology a tool for equal opportunity and advocating for an open and collaborative internet environment.
Over two decades, the foundation has supported 460 projects, providing nearly €600,000 in infrastructure investment for open-source initiatives, along with mentoring, training, and computer equipment reuse. The foundation emphasizes that behind these numbers lie "journeys, encounters, and human successes." The newly released booklet outlines key stages of its actions, extending from popularizing digital access and supporting free software to equal opportunity, equipment reuse, and topics such as artificial intelligence.
The booklet highlights several flagship projects: TUMO Marseille aims to help young people discover digital careers, having accompanied 356 young people since 2024; Konexio promotes professional integration through digital technology, training over 4,500 people in 2025; Ticket for Change focuses on impact entrepreneurship. In the field of free software, the foundation has invested nearly €600,000 since 2011 to host open-source projects such as VLC, Framasoft, and Open Food Facts. The booklet also features experiences of multiple beneficiaries and volunteers, and reviews the first AI training conducted in collaboration with École 42, which has helped 35 associations and trained 57 participants. The foundation reiterates its guiding philosophy: "Major technological changes are only meaningful if they can expand the realm of possibilities for everyone."
