Bruno Coudoin

I am a French software engineer. Being the father of 2 children, and a Free Software user, I found in year 2000 that there wasn't any good free educational application on GNU/Linux. I started to write GCompris as a hobby project and never stopped since then. GCompris is now developed, tested, documented, translated by a small community and used in many countries by millions of children.
