Towards an association for free scientific software

Version française

Recently, Joris van der Hoeven and others are planning to create an association for the promotion of free scientific software. On the one hand, such an association should allow us to boost the development of the GNU TeXmacs project. On the other hand, we expect that the developers of several other scientific softwares are in a similar situation as us, so it might be a good idea to join our efforts.

• Do we need a new association?
• Ideas for the name of the association (in french).
