The MICROCAM clubs : their history
In 1981, computing started to be successful in France. By this way, some Credit Agricole employees of Ille et Vilaine (Brittany) with the agreement of the Joint Production committee, decided to create a computing club, in order to gather the abilities of each person to develop the activities of the Crédit Agricole.
On 12th December 1981, this association was called MICROCAM that stands for computing -MICRO- and Crédit Agricole Mutuel (acronym CAM).
As the club became rapidly successful, on 16th March 1990, MICROCAM became a legal association using the French 1901 law (non profit association).
MICROCAM06 was created in Nice (french Riviera )
in 1989 by Yves
Cornil who was one of the founders of MICROCAM.
He was helped by Jean François BIANCHI. The association became
legal in August 1989, using the same law as above.
MICROCAM06 is a multimakers (Apple and PC) and users club that is
approved by "APPLE USER
GROUP" (AUG)
The MICROCAM clubs numbers are more than 500.
Firstly, to gather computer users to give them the
opportunity to exchange their knowledge, their passion and their
desire to know and learn computing in a nice atmosphere.
Then, to offer activities, to give people the opportunity to use
powerful material and software in an appropriated room open 24 hours
a day.
Later, to give people the opportunity to use multimedia and
Internet.
Finally, to rent computers, to help trainees to type their essay, to
teach people English, Word, Excel, Access using CD Rom's and video
cassettes.
