Extremely so! It seems that it's affiliated with a private school (EPSI)
but honestly, I would like to see more initiatives from European public
schools (especially universities) involving free software.

Regarding the "open", that's the way to go in schools these days, I'm
afraid. I found this recently, for example:

http://eduopen.org/en/

I think these initiatives are great, but often "open" means "anyone can
join" and not that the materials will be released under libre (such as
CC-BY-SA or CC-BY) licenses. This severely limits their effectiveness,
as well as the ability to integrate them with existing resources like
Wikiversity.
