Les Trophées du Libre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Les Trophées du Libre contest was a free software contest whose goal was to promote innovative software projects by giving those projects recognition and media coverage as well as rewarding participating students and academic institutions with special prizes.

Details[]

The competition was international and it was intended both to free development professionals and amateurs. Participating projects could apply for seven categories: Security, Games, Multimedia, Business Management, Education, Science applications and administration and communities.[1][2]

The first edition (2003) had 113 applying projects from 18 different countries.

The president for the 2009 edition was Pierre Spilleboudt. The jury was composed of about 30 experts. The Trophées du Libre's fifth award ceremony took place in June 2009.
