About

I am the coordinator of the C3LD (Centre Linux et Logiciels Libres pour le Développement) project for Vietnam, funded by the AUF (Agence universitaire de la Francophonie) through the CNF (Campus numérique francophone) center of Hanoi (see C3LD's website at http://hanoi.centre-linux.org). I am also member of the Hanoi Linux user group (http://www.hanoilug.org/). We have joined the Software Freedom Day action since the first one in 2004 and organized all yearly events until now. We are also active in promotion the use of OpenOffice.org and of Free softwares (thus of free and open formats) in Vietnam, especially in Hanoi.

The Faculty of Information technology of the University of Transport and Communication will organize a Free and open source software (FOSS) event on Saturday 29th March where about 300 students are expected to gather.
