It's directly linked to my Lilypond work. I'm working on the packaging of Lilypond for Ubuntu.[[BR]]
A software of this quality has definitly his place in a Linux distrib. such as Ubuntu.
I do my best to help new Ubuntu users, in live discussions on #ubuntu-fr and on the [http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org ubuntu-fr.org forum].

I wrote some wiki pages on [http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org]:

=== Bugs ===

I've worked on triaging bugs, reported some and fixed a few.

Some bugs I've '''reported''': [https://launchpad.net/bugs/4450 lilypond], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/5978 denemo], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/5340 xfce4], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6195 mozilla], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6303 anjuta], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6425 OOo 1.1.5], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/28136 gimp]

Some '''fixed''' bugs: [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6437 gnome-schedule], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/4673 blobwars], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6598 ipy], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/30339 libxfcegui4], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/32771 gproftpd], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/6486 python2.4-biopython-martel], [https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30437 kxl], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/33311 gkrelldnet]...

I've also worked on the missing deps due to the '''OCaml transition''' (thanks sistpoty): 15 packages debugged, but a rebuild was enough for most of them... ;)

Some "'''in progress'''" bugs: [https://launchpad.net/bugs/33806 siptoolbox], [https://launchpad.net/bugs/18803 libdts]

I've also worked on GOffice and Gnumeric to get gtk/GNOME multibuild packages. Gnumeric is now available for Xubuntu without the GNOME deps!

== Plans ==

Keep helping the best I can! That means:

 * packaging
 * helping new packagers
 * making Xubuntu rock even more
 * translating some u.c wiki pages for the french community
 * installing Ubuntu everywhere I can...
