Pioupiou is dead. Altostratus has filed for bankruptcy. But the network and installed devices are still alive and well. I bought back from the liquidator what was needed to be able to ensure the survival of the devices. So I took over the management of the network via my OpenWindMap project (which we will talk about in a few months). Connectivity is financed for this year, thanks to the Leetchi kitty which was completed in 48 hours. It's also quite comforting to see that there is still a community...

Today, I learn through customers that the company Altostratus Belgium (Pioupiou V2) has officially opened bankruptcy proceedings. Faktory informed us that the Sigfox connection contract expires on August 1st. They do not seem to have any intention of renewing the contract, highlighting the liquidation of the Belgian company. The subject is a bit more complicated than that. – What about French society? The Sigfox contract has always been in his name. I…

Hello everyone I had to resign from Pioupiou and its parent company Altostratus. It is therefore with sadness that I inform you. The company continues its activities, but without me. I was no longer in charge of daily operations since the end of May. I am no longer bound by and no longer endorse the decisions of this company, its actions or its products that will be put on the market. I sold my shares for 1 euro to my shareholders, with the aim...

I receive daily emails from people worried about their Pioupiou. So here are some clarifications. Since May, following a sick leave and a serious conflict with my partners, I have been forced to withdraw from the operational team of Pioupiou. Nevertheless, I fought to find a long-term solution that would give the project a future, fulfill orders and ensure support for the current Pioupious. It cost me a lot of stress...

Dear Friends You have always, and since the beginning, been very numerous to support the Pioupiou project. When I started, it was a purely selfless initiative. Here is the presentation of the time: “In fact, it bothers me to do real business. I'm here to play with electronics. Not to manage accounting problems, standards or legal obligations. Like I said, it's about making prototypes to prove the concept and hope that…

Dear Friends Google Maps crushed Mappy, IGN, and a whole bunch of other players in the cartographic world. There is only one serious alternative left: OpenStreetMap – amateurs who share their passion. The same is now happening in the weather world. The new entrants to the market are IBM and Monsanto… giants that are investing billions. Our public services are already on the decline and not…

There, it's done. I finally arrived on the sick leave box. So I'm officially ready for the paragliding season. It's quite a funny feeling. I have free time again. I no longer feel guilty for not going to work on Sunday (!!!). Take ! It's a good time to resume this blog. Poor little newspaper that had remained abandoned. The doctor advised me to write to take my mind off things – so that's fine...
