* 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. * Currently working on a Drupal wiki module(its basically two modified modules, a wiki filter, and a wiki node). It look very promessing, i'm planning to add the i18n module soon to test if it can translate wiki pages as well. My test site is at http://ubuntu.co-exist.net. |

How i got involved in the creation of the Ubuntu Quebec Team
At the end of 2005, i got sick of searching for people from Quebec interested in Ubuntu. There was the CanadianTeam and the FrenchTeam but no QuebecTeam and nothing was even close to it. So i started with the CanadianTeam, i translated their pages on the FrenchTeam's wiki. I found a few people with this approach but there was something wrong about it so i thought about starting a QuebecTeam myself. At that time i decided to wait for that. Later a suggestion from FabianRodriguez compelled me to do it; So i did, i Started the QuebecTeam with the help from DanielRobitaille, PatrickHétu and FabianRodriguez.
The web site is at: http://www.ubuntu-qc.org/, i contributed everything i did for the web site by creating what is now known as Ubuntu Drupal. It is now maintained by someone else because with my anxiety problems i could not continue the work by myself.
