 * Translating [ContactingLUGS] to French: [ContacterLesGULS].
 * Taking the commitment to contact my Local LUGS.
 * When i installed breezy, i experienced [http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9160 bug#9160]. A fix was already commited upstream so i have nothing to do except verify if the problem is solved when the next Breezy Iso will come out.
 * Reported [http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11380 bug #11380].
 * Added (Working Together) to [http://ubuntu.ca/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu-ca_LUG_Presentation Ubuntu-ca_LUG_Presentation].
 * I experienced [http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11389 bug #11389] and came up with the same solution (fix postinst path to xkbcomp) but a patch was already created.
 * Added a French Version to http://ubuntu.ca/wiki/index.php/CD_Insert.

 I started with Slackware in 1994(i think), one of my friend, introduced me to it. It was still text-based floppy install.. Ah the old days.. Anyway, i have been using Linux since that day.
