== À propos ==

Je suis conseiller indépendant en ''technologies et logiciels libres'', m'intéressant plus particulièrement au soutien technique en entreprise et aux particuliers. '''Mes services sont gratuits pour les enseignants au Québec'''.

Je suis disponible pour des mandats partout au Québec, au Canada ou à l'étranger (récemment: Pologne, Allemagne, Haïti, Colombie). Visitez [[http://legoutdulibre.com|Le Goût du Libre]] ou [[https://magicfab.ca|mon site personnel]] pour en savoir plus.

La liste de conférences, ateliers et formations que je suis en mesure d'adapter à vos besoins est disponible ci-bas.

"Ubuntu Member" depuis 2005, je détiens aussi les certifications "Ubuntu Certified Professional" et "Ubuntu Certified instructor". De 2006 à 2010 j'ai travaillé chez Canonical, où j'ai occupé le poste de "Senior Ubuntu Systems Support Analyst". Je suis un adepte de GNU/Linux et des logiciels libres depuis la première version d'Ubuntu en 2004. Mes distributions de choix sont Debian et [[http://trisquel.info|Trisquel]], une dérivée d'Ubuntu, mais je touche un peu à tout.

J'utilise ou je propose quotidiennement des solutions technologiques guidées par les principes fondateurs des logiciels libres. J'ai adapté [[http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.fr.html|ces principes]] pour les appliquer plus largement, comme suit:

 * La liberté d'utiliser la technologie, pour tous les usages (liberté 0).
 * La liberté d'étudier le fonctionnement d'un technologie, et de l'adapter à vos besoins (liberté 1). 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). Pour ceci l'accès au code source, schémas, plans ou instructions de fabrication et création sont une condition requise.
Line 5: Line 31:
I am mostly interested in advocacy/marketing, local support & training and new users introduction / migration to Gnu/Linux, with an emphasis on security. I joined Canonical as a senior support analyst in Montreal since November 2006.
Line 7: Line 32:
I also work as an "open-technologies" advocate & coach (software , hardware, formats, licences) in and around Montreal, QC, Canada, focusing on security and migration issues.

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)

  • Mentoring ElkinBotero (the team leader) and the members to officialize the team

  • Actively monitoring and helping with the IRC channel, mailing list and initial web resources (forums, etc.)

Local organizations

I am a member of and/or helped founding the following organizations:

  • FSF - Free Software Foundation (member since 2005, founder of Libre Planet Québec)

  • FACIL (President, 2013-)
