A joyful mess
Who is behind Framasoft? Everybody who took part in our projects at some point. It is enough to be eager to promote Open source and license your contribution as open source. It guarantees that it will be added to the commons without any risk of being seized.
A bit of cathedral
Framasoft is based on a law 1901 association (non-profit association of volunteers). Up to it to smooth out any rough edges and to ensure that the community can function in good conditions. There are 9 permanent posts and it’s mostly financed by individual donations collected on Internet. You can be a member too, but careful, it is more a vocation than a sinecure!
There are lots of ways to participate with us to spread the Free spirit through our numerous projects.
Test, write, moderate, administrate, translate, proofread, relay, code, communicate, promote, raise awareness… Don’t hesitate to join in with us! And thanks in advance…
because its free as in free speech, not as in free beer
Framasoft would be nothing without its volunteer community, but cannot operate without the support of the association which has expenses and employs 9 vital employees. Our funding depends on individual donations, that means on you. If you think we deserve it…
Free software is a software that offers and guarantees the following four liberties: usage, study, modification and copying in order to spread (free of charge or not).
This is technically permitted thanks to the access to the code and legally with the free license going with it. Theses four liberties promote transparency, trust, exchange, sharing and collaboration inside communities.
Framasoft provides a directory, USB and DVD keys and a Windows installer to discover these and use them regularly.
The big directory
More than 1600 peices of software, tested, rated and commented on by the longest running and Framasoft’s debut project. Includes tutorials and comprehensive docs.

Massive install
Framapack is a handy tool to pick the best free software for Window’s most recent version.
You select the software you want and all the programs are installed in a single convenient step!
Ease by Internet and digitisation, "free culture" is a evolving culture inspired directly by free software in its spirit and licenses to promote and spread intellectuals works.
It explores various domains such as arts, education, sciences, hardware… These works can then be considered as common goods. The most illustrative example is the free encyclopedia Wikipedia.
In this context, Framasoft offers you a blog, a publising house a video platform, a website dedicated to free music as well as an original collaborative translation service.
“Because it will be one of the biggest missed opportunities of our era if the free software doesn’t free anything else than code.”
