| 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. 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. |

Ubuntu Involvement beyond development
I am involved in french ubuntu-fr loco team as a member of the administration team and part of the chair (as the secretary) of ubuntu-fr french association.
I am also the author of Simple Comme Ubuntu, free book (under CC:By-Sa licence), part of framabook collection, solded at more than 10 000 copies only by the Internet, and downloaded more than 300 000 times at the very moment. This book is always updated with the last version of Ubuntu. A version to be integrated with Dell PC is in preparation.
I contribute to French documentation and wrote some wiki pages like ndiswrapper page or Smartmontools page.
I also went in Africa for 1 month with a non-governemental organisation, Africedu : (project 2006: Lome, capital city of Togo), shipping in a school 60 computers set up with Ubuntu 5.10 (and upgraded there to 6.06 from on old hard drive!). We made some training there.
I have for long time promoted Ubuntu in France, and particularly when I was living in Paris with Ubuntu Party. This is why I am one of the main organizers of Ubuntu events in Paris (like "Ubuntu Gutsy" and recently "Ubuntu Hardy"). In November 2007, 3rd & 4th: Gutsy Party was and amazed party with more than 3 000 visitors in two days. We had 4 000 people coming for the "Ubuntu Intrepid Party", making huats known as the 4K man
Main channels : #ubuntu-fr-party@Freenode Gave with huats also a talk in the last UbuntuDeveloperWeek#The%20Timetable about patching packages.
- I runned bugjams during the ubuntu global bug jams also in Paris
Finally, I try to represent the French community at big events (like RMLL, Linux Solution, Fête de l'humanité, http://paris-libre.org/) or smaller one (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braderie_de_Lille and LibreAcces, festival of free music in Paris where people can download the music from Ubuntu workstation).
