In her speech ( French text),(mp3 ), Claudie Haigner� stated there were three challenges :
1/ Reduction of the digital divide
2/ Better internet governance
3/ Open Access : "Open Acces for everybody to knowledge, I am thinking to education, science and culture, mostly, is a third challenge".


This is a picture with a flavor of unwilling eccentricity. Richard Stallman (right) had just broken the leather strap of his shoes, so he was temporalily without shoes, while a french friend (guess who...) was going to a shoe repairer. He was a truely a "barefoot guru" !
