Summary
Cédric Gemy is a seasoned trainer, author and CEO with over a decade of experience promoting and teaching open-source graphics and web technologies (GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Blender) alongside web development stacks (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP). He has authored practical French and English books on GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus, maintained Inkscape documentation since its early days, and created Python extensions that bridge design tools and developer workflows. Based in Rennes, he combines hands-on workshop delivery for institutions, schools and companies with strategic guidance as a CEO of Activdesign, helping organizations adopt libre software at scale. A rare specialist who migrated from proprietary suites to free alternatives as early as 2004, he pairs deep pedagogical experience (university teaching and course leadership) with real-world project coaching and published technical writing.
