April has been over the years an interlocutor that has managed to remain independent, rigorous, reliable and available

Jerome Relinger's photo Testimony for April's 10th birthday in 2006.

The recent parliamentary debates over the LCEN bill, the DADVSI bill or the software patents, have illustrated both the citizens' availability when it comes to involvement in technical topics that are rightfully seen as highly political issues, and the need for democratization and transmission of stakes, sometimes hidden behind complex technical subjects. April has been contributing to such democratization thanks to its constant implication. Thus, April has been over the years an interlocutor that has managed to remain independent, rigorous, reliable and available, both for our parliamentary groups and for work-groups. Faithful partner of the Free Software Village during the "Fête de l'Humanité", committed to defending the general public's cause against software patents and intrusive technologies, we hope to work for many more years with April.
