Framasoft is one of the main French language portals to the free and open-source culture providing a space for orientation, information, news, exchange, and projects. Its community regularly brings resources and assistance to people who would like to get started with free software. They also partner with people wishing to replace their proprietary software with open-source solutions at any step of the migration from proprietary to free software, such as Microsoft Windows to Linux.
