The Libre Software Meeting, Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre is an
event of the Free Software Community in France. It happens since year
2000. Website: http://2009.rmll.info

This year, the tenth meeting is organised from the 7th to the 11th July
2009 in Nantes (France). Localisation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantes

Call For Presentation - Community Theme

- The Community Theme proposes to explore how social structures that
make up what's usually called "Free Software Community" work together.
- You'll learn about the different free software entities, like local or
nationwide associations, sector-based or not, aimed at users, promotion
or developers, technical or not, virtual or not, for professionals or
volunteers, etc.
- You'll know from different points of view how community members
interact, on the practical, technical, social, legal, financial or
communcation aspects.
- The theme also presents local, national and international actions (how
to act at what level), the relationships with the rest of the world
(public at large, institutions, press, enterprises, associations and
NGO, etc.).

This year, we'll focus on the following questions :

* how can free software and collaborative behaviour help a member of the
associative, community and NGO area to reach its target ?

* how can these tools and their use enhance the diversity of
participants ? What are the organisation forms and levers that can
favour creation and knowledge transfer ?

* what can the free software platforms bring to the associations for
themselves and for their interconnection to others ?

* what are the support and success factors necessary for a collective
intelligence to emerge ?

* how to cultivate wealth in a cooperative project ? Details for speakers

--------------------APPEL A PRESENTATION---------------------------

Les Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre (RMLL) sont un événement
annuel du logiciel libre qui se déroule au mois de juillet en France
depuis 2000. Les RMLL 2009 se dérouleront à Nantes du 7 au 11 juillet.

Ce texte est l'appel à communication du thème « Communautés » de ces
rencontres. Les autres thèmes présents en 2009 peuvent être trouvés sur
le site des RMLL : http://2009.rmll.info.

Le thème Communautés vous propose d'explorer le fonctionnement des
structures sociales qui composent ce que l'on appelle communément la ou
les « communauté(s) du libre ». On y trouvera les différents types de
structures dans le libre (associations locales ou nationales,
sectorielles ou généralistes, d'utilisateurs ou de promotion ou de
développeurs, techniques ou non, virtuelles ou non, associations de
professionnels ou de bénévoles, etc.), le fonctionnement d'une
communauté (aspects pratiques, techniques, sociaux, juridiques,
financiers, communicationnels, etc.), les relations inter-communautés
(aspects pratiques, techniques, sociaux, juridiques, financiers,
communicationnels, etc.), les actions locales/nationales/internationales
(comment agir aux différents niveaux), les relations avec le reste du
monde (grand public, institutionnels, presse, entreprises,
associations/ONG, etc.), etc.

L'édition 2009 du thème Communautés des RMLL s'interrogera notamment sur
les problématiques suivantes :

    * dans les milieux associatifs, communautaires et ONG, en quoi les
logiciels libres et les pratiques collaboratives peuvent aider une
organisation à atteindre un objectif commun ?

    * en quoi ces outils et leurs usages peuvent favoriser une
diversité de participation ? Quelles en sont les formes
organisationnelles et les leviers en terme de création et de transfert
des savoirs ?

    * qu'apportent les plates-formes collaboratives libres pour les
associations elles-mêmes et en interconnection avec d'autres ?

    * quels facteurs de réussite et accompagnements sont nécessaires
pour en faire émerger une intelligence collective ?
    * comment cultiver l'abondance dans un projet coopératif ?

Précisions à destination des intervenants :

Les exposés synthétiques sont prévus pour durer 20 minutes. Des versions
PDF des exposés ne sont pas obligatoires mais seront très appréciées
(mises en ligne après l'évènement elles constituent des archives très
utiles pour toute la communauté).

Si vous envisagez de venir et de proposer un exposé, veuillez envoyer au
plus vite un message à l'adresse suivante : communautes at rmll.info avec
un résumé de votre exposé (ainsi, si vous le pouvez, qu'un résumé en
anglais). N'hésitez pas à faire suivre cette annonce là où ou à qui vous
le jugerez le plus utile (mais n'abusez pas du courriel).

Nous avons des ressources limitées pour les transports (seulement pour
les orateurs qui ne peuvent pas se faire rembourser par l'institution à
laquelle ils appartiennent) mais il n'y a pas de frais d'inscription à
la conférence et de l'hébergement à très faible coût est organisé sur le
site.
