Description

The Sympa mailing list manager turns 27 this year – pretty old for a free software. During 20 years its developement was handled by the French research and education community. Over the course of this period, which saw Sympa raise to international recognition, we met success as well as failure while managing the project.
Now that we are working on Sympa successor, we try not to reproduce what we did wrong and improve what we did right. And as community is the key to success, we share all these with you, hoping to make you part of our next community.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk

Good and bad ideas to have when you want to run a successful free software project.
