The Centre Pompidou, the temple of art and innovation, is now the place to be for Open Source.

Join GNU/Linux Magazine's media stalwart in a special tribute to Roland Moreno, visionary and inventor of the smart card.

Since its creation in 1998, the magazine has established itself as a veritable benchmark in the field of free software, playing a key role in the spread and acceptance of this ecosystem in the digital world. Today, this key figure takes his place alongside geniuses like Moreno.

• Why is this tribute special?
  A few weeks ago, Roland Moreno was honoured in an exhibition at the Musée national d'art moderne. A retrospective on his life, inviting visitors to explore his world, where technology and poetry meet.

Olivier Zeitoun, curator of the exhibition, sums up the spirit of this tribute brilliantly:

"With his inventions, Roland Moreno questions the then nascent expectations of computer science, taking it into fertile territories of chance and error. His bricolages, which could be likened to poetic machines, reconfigure the relationship between accuracy and precision, mastery and prediction, associated with computer and electronic tools."

A fascinating look inside the mind of the "first French geek" who, like the Open Source movement, pushed back the boundaries of technology.

• GNU/Linux Magazine: a medium that stands the test of time!
  In 1998, a "UFO" appeared in the French press: GNU/Linux Magazine. Since its first publication, this magazine has accompanied free software enthusiasts and professionals through decades of technological change.

Today, as the majority has realised that several paths are possible, the magazine has been transformed into a technical and professional channel, giving rise to other specialised publications such as :
- MISC (IT security) ,
- Linux Pratique (guide to Free Software) ,
- Open Silicium (pre-professional approach to digital ,
- Hackable (leisure and beginners).

GNU/Linux Magazine celebrates its 200th issue and continues to be one of the few survivors of the "golden age of the computer press".

Its longevity is proof of the vitality and importance of Open Source in today's technological landscape!
