Hi everyone,

IMHO "libre" also fits with the name of the event.
(I'd rather avoid the ambiguous "free" but that's just me, in any case
I'd recommend the inclusive FLOSS acronym).

Various people are part of the different projects but some are only
affiliated with one. I really recommend listing all the various project
individually. There are strong links between many of them but there is
no "umbrella project" and sub-projects (better for everyone).

I fully agree with your concept of name + link + very short desc. We
don't want the project page to become too huge.

Thanks for your work on the webpage!
