During the last decade, I was often given to meet April on the steep roads leading to software freedom. Browsing through parallel channels, our efforts have enabled the emergence of new collaborative models and have demonstrated its effectiveness. Today we all work, OW2 as April, to strengthen sustainably ecosystems that are based on unconstrained sharing of software, which are critical artifacts for the Information Society. And I am sure that in the future we will continue together to ensure that these new paths laid out by the pioneers remain large open.
