About my Linux profile, I started using Linux with Red Hat 6 in 1996. I then really become a regular Linux member since Mandrake 7.0 with a KDE based interface. I used Mandrake until 9.0 release of Mandrake, and then decided to try debian, and was truly satisfied with it, despite the long configuration time to take to have a working environment. I found the apt tools really cool compared to rpm one. About my Linux profile, I started using Linux with Red Hat 6 in 1999.

JonathanMarsaud : Didier Roche has many times showed how he is involved on ubuntu-fr LoCoTeam : from the view of a moderator of #ubuntu-fr, I saw how his book has helped a lot of new users to use Ubuntu. His participation to Ubuntu Party and administration of ubuntu-fr.org merits to be granted ;)

NicolasBarcet : Didier is a very committed Ubuntu actor in the french speaking community, and a very well known one, through his involment in documentation, translation, his book and participation in install party and numerous events. I therefore recommend to the board to grant him a membership he could have claim a long time ago. (Update Sept 5th) Didier also started contributing to ufw (uncomplicated firewall) by providing default rules for various packages and did a great job at it. I was also impressed by his class during Ubuntu Developper day.

JulienRottenberg : Didrocks is a very valuable asset of the Ubuntu french speaking community, he is really committed to any task he accepts to take upon (see the book "Simple comme Ubuntu"). He is very skilled (multiple patchs to the wiki engine doc.ubuntu-fr.org uses to accommodate ubuntu-fr growth) and passionate about Ubuntu, I got the opportunity to meet him on a few occasions, he is a very nice person.

ChristopheSauthier: Speaking as the leader of the french Loco, I can only say that I am surprised that Didier is not a member yet. He has proved a real commitment to Ubuntu and its community through a hard and great work for many years. He is always nice with people, and has showed that he is a real asset in every team he participates in. Therefore I recommend also that the board grant him the Ubuntu Membership.

About Me

I am a 24 year old French system administrator, living near Paris.

About my Linux profile, I started using Linux with Red Hat 6 in 1999. I then really become a regular Linux member since Mandrake 7.0 with a KDE based interface. I used Mandrake until 9.0 release of Mandrake, and then decided to try debian, and was truly satisfied with it, despite the long configuration time it took to have a working environment. I found the apt tools really cool compared to rpm one. With the project to go to Africa (see below), I was seeking for an easy-to-use and install Linux distribution. I found the "no-name-yet", known as Ubuntu today, and become to make some test with it. I have sticked with it and Ubuntu make me love the GNOME environment since this date.

As a programmer, I know C++, XHTML/CSS, PHP, XML/XSL/XPATH, shell scripting (Bash/Ksh) and java languages. I am currently learning python which seems to rock on!
