25 years already, and this is only the beginning.
It is the year 2000. In a student laboratory, a few enthusiasts are hard at work. They have lots of ideas and, above all, one intuition: technology should not be treated like any other commodity. It should be shared. Respectful. Useful. A common good.
That is how LINAGORA was born. Out of conviction. Out of a concrete utopia.
Twenty-five years later, what remains of this idea? Everything. But it has grown, nourished by exchanges, lines of code, battles fought, and numerous dreams that were never abandoned.
Today, there are more than 150 of us, scattered across the globe. From Toulouse to Tunis, from Issy-les-Moulineaux to Hanoi, we come from different backgrounds and cultures, and we move forward together. United by a common desire: to build technology that reflects who we are. Open. Ethical. Sovereign. Human. 25 years already, and this is only the beginning.
Let's celebrate together
To mark these 25 years, we got together. Not via video conference or email. In person. Because people remain at the heart of everything we do.
We chose to celebrate this quarter century in our own way:
- by forging bonds,
- by sharing what drives us,
- by debating, laughing and dreaming together.
Agadir was the setting for this reunion. A break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to look back at where we came from and where we want to go.
Thank you
Thank you to everyone who has made, and continues to make, LINAGORA what it is today.
To the pioneers. To the new recruits. To the committed, the curious, the determined, the dreamers.
Thank you, because it is you who bring this ambitious and wonderful idea of open source to life.
What happens next?
We still have so much to do. So much to build. So much to defend.
But we have the foundations: solid values, a close-knit team, and a vision that has never been clearer.
So, to all those who read us, follow us, and support us:
Join us. Let's invent the next 25 years together.
25 years already. And this is only the beginning.
