Je suis conseiller indépendant en technologies libres, m'intéressant plus particulièrement à la formation et l'accompagnement. À la recherche de mandats en consultation ou toute opportunité à temps plein, je travaille surtout à Montréal mais je fais la navette entre Ottawa et Québec. Je suis disponible pour des mandats à l'étranger. Visitez mon site Internet ou mon profil LinkedIn 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, j'ai aussi les certifications "Ubuntu Certified Professional" et "Ubuntu Certified instructor". Je suis surtout un adepte de GNU/Linux et des logiciels libres depuis la première version d'Ubuntu en 2004. En fait j'ai commencé avec Mandrake et...

J'utilise ou je propose quotidiennement des solutions technologiques guidées par les principes fondateurs des logiciels libres. J'ai adapté 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.

About me

I am a consultant, mostly doing "free IT" advocacy & coaching (software , hardware, formats, licenses) in and around Montreal, QC, Canada, focusing on training, security and migration from non-free IT.

I am interested in free technologies advocacy (including formats, content, licensing) & training for new users, with an emphasis on security.

I am an Ubuntu Member since 2005, and also Ubuntu Certified Professional + Ubuntu Certified instructor. I am mostly an avid GNU/Linux and free software user since Ubuntu's first version came out in 2004. Well, it all started with Mandrake for me...

Plans & vision for Ubuntu

I see Ubuntu becoming an essential tool to make Gnu/Linux more accessible to everyone, starting with my parents and close friends Smile :) I feel it's a community that is open enough to let anyone participate to the extent of their abilities and availability.

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 through in tasks that will make the MOTU's work easier
  • Actively encouraging people to register to Launchpad and document their participation
  • Encouraging participation in UbuntuInLibraries

In Quebec, as part of the Ubuntu-QC team

  • Actively marketing and selling Ubuntu-related services locally:
  • * Training
  • * Servers install and support
  • * Desktop migration and support
  • Becoming a liaison for local support & advocacy

  • Participating or organazing events with Ubuntu mentions / presence

In Colombia, as part of the Ubuntu-CO team

  • 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.)

People

Several members I've met at UBZ Montreal and while joining the Canadian Loco and Marketing teams may be able to provide more information on me: HubertFiguiere, CoreyBurger, DanielRobitaille, SivanGreen, EtienneGoyer (former colleague at Canonical's Montreal office)
