Leur réponse:

"Hi Fabian, 
Thanks very much for writing, we truly value your feedback. OpenMedia.ca
is fully aware of the open source alternatives to the closed software
listed below. And yes, we fully support the interests of the FOSS
community (I wrote my undergrad research project on the topic!) That
said, we find Twitter, Facbook, and YouTube to be invaluable, popular
engagement tools for our cause. We try to use open source wherever
possible. 

Thanks again for your input!

The OpenMedia.ca Team
