We are proud to announce that Camptocamp is now a member of the CNLL (Conseil National du Logiciel Libre), the leading professional organization whose mission is to structure the free software industry in France.

 

A natural recognition of our Open Source commitment

Since its creation, Camptocamp has made free and open source software the core of its DNA. Our expertise in Geospatial, Open Source Infrastructure, and open source ERPs (Odoo) is built on open, sustainable, and collaborative technologies.

Joining the CNLL is therefore a logical continuation of our strategic positioning and our fundamental values: transparency, mutualization, open innovation, and digital sovereignty.

 

Why join the CNLL?

The CNLL today represents more than 200 free software companies across France through a network of regional clusters. As a member:

  • We participate in a collective dynamic to promote free and open source software at the national and European level.
  • We contribute to advocacy work for a more ethical, sustainable, and sovereign digital world.
  • We strengthen our connections with other players in the open source ecosystem, fostering cooperation, knowledge sharing, and innovation.
     

A commitment to a more open and responsible digital future

At Camptocamp, we believe that the future of digital technology lies in openness, interoperability, and shared governance. By joining the CNLL, we reaffirm our desire to actively contribute to building a free, European, and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

We look forward to collaborating with the members of CNLL and jointly supporting initiatives promoting free and open source software as a common good.

"On the shores of Lake Geneva" — Teaching machines to understand where you mean
We built etter, an open-source Python library that turns natural language location descriptions into spatial filters. You give it "north of Lausanne" or "on the shores of Lake Geneva" — it gives you a GeoJSON geometry your app can use directly. It's LLM-agnostic, multilingual, and handles the kind of spatial nuance that breaks naive approaches. If you build location-aware products, you'll want to read this.
