Building on the Declaration of human rights of 1789, current Access to Information laws (in France, but in many other countries too) require public administrations to disclose (certain) documents when requested by citizens, companies and more.

After a short presentation of the legal context, this talk will show examples of documents that can be obtained to help FLOSS companies to find potential clients and more. Ma Dada (and its sibling platforms built on the OSS alaveteli app) will be demonstrated as a practical solution to navigate the minefield of Access to Information requests.
