I started to use Debian 4 years ago, only for "server" usage for 3 years, and failed to find a desktop oriented distribution that would feet my needs and awaitings until I discovered Kubuntu and the Ubuntu community. I litteraly felt in love with it and decided to reorienting my informatic life around Linux.
At the moment, my contributions are essentially focused on packaging KDE applications.

== Misc ==

  * Work on the kde simplification and global default settings (kubuntu-default-settings package).
  * Work on bluez package, with pinwrapper script to make it compatible with kde-bluetooth.
  * Work on NetworkManager and Knetworkmanager packages to have them in Ubuntu.
  * Patches for kdebase (example: fix system:/ protocol to avoid kicker-system-applet issues)
  * Diverse contributions/corrections on http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org and http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org
  * Help on IRC/Freenode, channels #kubuntu-fr, #kubuntu, #kubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-motu.
  * Moderator of the French section of [[http://www.kubuntuforums.net|Kubuntu Forums]], whenever I don't have the time to post as much as I would like to...
  * Member of the kubuntu CC.

== Future ==


  * Work on the implementation of Oskar, which should replace kaffeine/kmplayer.
  * Work on kubuntu-default-settings, to make kde even more simple and efficient.
  * Work on the wireless part of KDE, and eventually make KWlan the default, replacing WlAssistant.
  * Think and propose new apps for kubuntu default install (example: Knetstats, Media Tag Tools...)
  * Finding time to help on Rosetta, which I really want to do, but don't have the time actually.
  * Finish the merge of kde apps for edgy (including about 35 packages to merge or simply add since they are not still packaged)
  * Take time to revu packages on REVU (impossible until July 27 due to lack of time)
