Until early this century, Free Software was only known by a small group of network experts or computer enthusiasts, who were the only ones able to enjoy their quality, versatility and low cost. April, thanks to its enthusiasm and professionalism helped extend this by working tirelessly to convince business and political leaders that it is counter-productive to bet solely on the proprietary model. Citizens who benefit today from more reliable, more open and less expensive services, owe a lot to April.
