The local Centre Nouvelles Technologies et Enseignement started blogging, they even have an aggregator, all based on b2evolution.

Strange, their projects are pretty similar to some of our own, they use the same tools and they're located just 3 minutes from our office.. but still I don't know any of the folks over there. Alright, but then they're state-run 'rivals' :)
Well, at least we invented them to the open house event in order to change that :)
