Framasoft is a popular and educational network using open-sourced software, created in 2001 by Alexis Kauffmann. Since December 2003, it is supported by an eponymous association based in Lyon, France.[4] It is divided in three main branches of activities, on a collaborative model: promotion, diffusion and development of open-source software, enrichment of the open-source culture and services online.

Framasoft is one of the main francophone portals to open-source culture, both in terms of services and users. Its community regularly brings ressources and assistance to people who discover open-source software environment and contributes to its diffusion in schools as well as in professional environments and online. They also accompany people wishing to replace their copyrighted material with open-source at any point in the migration, notably from Microsoft Windows to GNU/Linux.[5]

The entirety of Framasoft's production is created under open license to guarantee that nothing or no one can privatise or appropriate it for business purposes.
