CRANS is an association of students living in Cachan, France near Paris on the campus of the [http://www.ens-cachan.fr/english_version/ École Normale Supérieure de Cachan] campus.

CRANS, which stands for Cachan Reseau @ Normale Sup', first aims at managing and providing a broadband connection to our network to the residents of the campus and, through it, to the Internet. It also aims at promoting free software.

With more than 800 members each year, CRANS tries to manage its network as best as possible. Each year, many new projects are proposed to its members. Recently, tv multicast and secured Wifi connection were conduced thanks to projects like [http://www.videolan.org VideoLan] or [http://openwrt.org/ OpenWrt]/[http://www.openbsd.org OpenBsd]. In a complement to that deployment of new technologies, each year CRANS organizes at least one [http://install-party.ens-cachan.fr install-party] in order to let people discover free software and let them change their operating system.

CRANS also provides services to the rest of the world, like an official mirror of [http://www.videolan.org VideoLan], with the collaboration of [http://via.ecp.fr VIA] another student association in France, or the project MumuDvb [http://arch.crans.org].

In addition to that and for over three years, CRANS has tried to fund some important to our association. So we have already funded projects like, [http://www.fsf.org/ FSF], [http://www.debian.org Debian], [http://openwrt.org/ OpenWrt], and [http://www.openbsd.org OpenBsd].
