== Magog Computer Club ==

I was pleased to find a computer club here in Magog. There are at least 20 people that get together every 2 to 4 week. The group is not specific to only FOSS, but does seems to consider it a priority. http://cim.aide-doc.qc.ca

I have an Obsessive–compulsive disorder, and no it did not stop me from learning and using Linux. In fact i think that Linux became an obsession for me. I had to deal with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder pretty much all my life, i think i was born with it. Something about an operation my mother had when i was still in the womb probably got me really stressed about the outside world. So i'm the kind of guy that was always passionate about anything that could change the world for the better; copyleft, open software and hardware.

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.

About Me
