The title of the next James Bond movie! Or will that be the next OpenBSD release song? ;-)

You certainly know Picasa Albums Web and Flickr, two commercial picture hosting services. You probably know a few free software projects that allow people to keep control of their own pictures, such as Gallery, Piwigo, Zenphoto or PhotoShow.

GNU MediaGoblin is a similar project, but with some interesting characteristics and features:

• it has a funny name and mascot;
• it is part of the GNU project;
• it is written in Python;
• it does not need a database servers since can use an SQLite database;
• it is designed with a specific care for free culture, allowing to indicate the license of a picture and to provide its source format as an attachment for instance.
• it supports audio, video and 3D models with HTML5 features rather than the dreadful Flash;
• it is a work in progress and is asking for financial contribution.

If you find GNU MediaGoblin as promising as I do, please consider donating!

Suite à la fermeture arbitraire du compte Amazon d'une lectrice Kindle, qui a entraîné la perte de tous ses livres numérique, et aux divers abus semblables ces dernières années, j'ai envoyé à la Ministre de la culture une proposition qui, inscrite à la loi, devrait permettre de dissuader et d'atténuer ces abus.

Je souhaite rendre cette lettre publique, aussi n'hésitez pas à la reprendre : par souci de simplicité et par conviction, je place ce texte sous licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.
