<DIV>Dear Andy and all the people there,<BR><BR>I have worked and still work together in France and in the French-speaking part of Europe in the field of telecenters.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Yearly, we set up in January, a meeting of young people in Autrans, France (more than 50 people) who work in french telecenters (from cities, foundations, as volunteers or not) as well some people from belgian telecenters.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>We have produced the biggest study about "social habits in french and belgian telecenters" (2 years ago) with more than 600 telecenters who have answered.</DIV>
<DIV>The results are available online there in French:</DIV>

<DIV>I maintain the biggest discussion-list in french about telecenters called "espaces publics multimedia" with more than 1600 people at the moment on it:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/espaces-publiques-multimedia">http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/espaces-publiques-multimedia</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR>I take part (with other people) of the government working in-state <BR>governmental group that coordinated during 3 years the different telecenters in France.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have developed a strong partnership with our belgian friends.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I now work on a projet of a French NGO named ATD Quart Monde - the project is called "Internet de rue" (internet on street) for 2 years that will consist in developing a project of furnishing internet to more than 20 families (very very poor people) in Paris and suburbs and accompanying them.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I really guess this group is a great initiative and i am proud to be a part of it.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have relayed your message about the working to the french discussion list as well as my partners who works for/in telecenters <BR>at different level (local, regional, country) in the following countries : <BR>France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Spain.</DIV>
<DIV><BR> </DIV>
<DIV>best regards from Paris - France,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jean-Luc Raymond</DIV><p>
