Digital technology you stay in control of.

Raysys designs, builds and maintains open source software for organisations that want to keep control of their digital tools — public agencies, publishers, critical infrastructure.

Expertise

Three playgrounds, one standard.

Digital sovereignty

Tools you actually control: open source software, self-controlled hosting, reversibility. Raysys contributes directly to the digital commons backed by the French State, such as La Suite Numérique.

  • La Suite Numérique
  • DINUM
  • Sovereign hosting

Open source

Open source is not an option: it is the method. Upstream-first contributions, long-term project maintenance, active involvement in communities — from OpenFUN to Clermontech.

Demanding projects

Distributed systems, sensitive data, scale: for projects where strong capabilities are not a slogan, but a specification.

  • Architecture
  • Security
  • Reliability

Open source contributions

Real projects, maintained over time.

Open source LTI-compliant CMS for rich learning content: video, documents, exercises.

The collaborative text editor of La Suite Numérique: web-native, built for real-time collaboration, cleanly structured.

Collaborative file sharing and document management that scales — built with Django and React.

The common Django library shared across La Suite Numérique projects: the building blocks of public digital products.

Also: Richie, Joanie and Cunningham (OpenFUN / La Suite), the Scaleway Terraform provider, the encryption proxy of Démarches simplifiées… The full picture is on GitHub.

About

Raysys is the company of Manuel Raynaud, a software engineer based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Committed to software craftsmanship — careful, tested, maintainable code — he has spent over a decade working on education platforms and open source infrastructure alongside OpenFUN, La Suite Numérique and the DINUM.

Raysys was founded in January 2025 to give this activity a proper frame: helping public and private organisations build sober, sovereign and shared digital technology.
