Pour ceci l'accès au code source, schémas, plans ou instructions de fabrication et création sont une condition requise. * La liberté de redistribuer des copies, donc d'aider votre voisin, (liberté 2). * La liberté d'améliorer une technologie et de publier vos améliorations, pour en faire profiter toute la communauté (liberté 3).

Plans & vision for Ubuntu
When I discovered Ubuntu I understood its role as an essential tool to make GNU/Linux more accessible to everyone, starting with my parents and close friends. Its community was the first open enough to let anyone participate to the extent of their abilities and availability. I have now moved to using more and more an Ubuntu derivative, Trisquel while also exploring Ubuntu's upstream Debian.
I am critical of decisions taken by Canonical, particularly the inclusion of non-free software and features that can be compared to malware, introducing privacy issues:
As part of my professional but also personal activities, I plan on focusing on the following:
In all teams
- Keeping the Ubuntu community open and friendly, following the code of conduct
- Contributing and teaching others how to contribute in tasks that will make upstream's work easier
- Actively encouraging people to document their participation and contribute to upstream projects
- Encouraging participation in local events in other free software communities
In Quebec, as part of the Ubuntu-QC team
- Actively marketing and selling free software/IT services locally:
- * Training
- * Servers install and support
- * Desktop migration and support
Becoming a liaison for local support & advocacy
- Participating or organizing events with Ubuntu derivatives mentions / presence
In Colombia, as part of the Ubuntu-CO team (past)
Mentored ElkinBotero and other the team leaders and members to officialize the team
- Actively monitored and helped with the IRC channel, mailing list and initial web resources (forums, etc.)
