Topic list

The "Libre Software Meeting" is mainly a set of lectures, grouped by topic. Those topics are grouped in technical topics, targeted to an audience of specialists, and in mass audience topics, that do not have pre-requisites. However, a topic can be in the same time technical and mass audience. That is in fact in adequation with the spirit of the meeting: sharing and letting very different individuals meet.
"Mass audience" topics are mostly in french, "technical" topics are mostly in english.
