As part of the Open Source Experience conference, the Acteurs du Libre contest is proposed and organized by the French CNLL. It aims at promoting and giving more visiblity to the open source sector, and awards free Software companies, entrepreneurs, projects and associations that make notable contributions to open source and free software.
Six awards are distributed in the following categories: the Committed Public Service Award, the European Award in collaboration with APELL, the Business Development Award, the Best Open Source Strategy Award, the Open and Ethical Digital Award, and the Jury’s Special Award.
The European price in collaboration with APELL was created recently, in 2022. APELL contributes in the organization and promotion of this price, using its large network of open source european actors, associations and foundations to find new candidates. The 2022 price was given to SUSE and the 2023 went to Nextcloud.
The awards ceremony will take place during the Open Source Experience on 4-5 December at the Palais des Congres in Paris (Porte Maillot).
NOTE: Any organization or project may apply in the European APELL category, but its head office must be based in Europe and outside France. Organizations that are not members of the CNLL are accepted. The theme of the competition is software, not hardware. Organizations based outside France and Europe are allowed to apply in the ‘Europe’ category.
