Why a new French organization in the Silicon Valley?
SiliconFrench extends beyond the Silicon Valley and has chapters in Boston, Quebec, Montreal, Paris, Phoenix and will have chapters in many more areas where a French community is present.
SiliconFrench is a new and unique organization: the whole community is based on personal contacts with Members, managed by Coordinators. SiliconFrench allows their members to access an online directory which is moderated by the Coordinators.
 
Is there a fee to become a member?
The cover charge for each SiliconFrench event is $25. Access to the online community directory will be available for a yearly fee.
 
Can I go to SiliconFrench workshops if I am not a member?

I can't find my school in the list. Does this mean that I can't join SiliconFrench?
