I study music writing (''écriture'' in french) in Paris, and feel very concerned by the music typesetting, as it's a good way to share music.		 == About me ==

Line 20: Line 23:
I am one of the french translators of the [http://lilypond.org Lilypond website]. Lilypond is the "GNU Music Typesetter," and I do my best to help people using it. To do so, I've built a small website, [http://gnu-pond.tuxfamily.org GNU-Pond], which provides tips and tricks for french-speaking users. As an Ubuntu MOTU, I try to keep the Universe in a good shape, but also try to keep close to the community by helping MOTU wannabes. Being a [MOTU/Mentors MOTU Mentor] is really important to me, since I was really happy to be helped by other MOTUS when I started packaging. I wish I'll be able to do the same with newcomers.

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.		 === Packages ===

==== New packages ====

I've created various new packages for dapper:

 * [http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker Texmaker]
 * [http://jargon.tuxfamily.org JargonInformatique]
 * [http://www.nongnu.org/libtranslate libtranslate]
 * [http://vbaexpress.tuxfamily.org vbaexpress]
 * and Xfce packages:
   * xfce4-dev-tools
   * thunar plugins
   * screenshooter plugin
   * pyxfce (NEW in edgy)



=== Syncs / Merges ===

 * [https://launchpad.net/bugs/4639 numlockx]
 * [https://launchpad.net/bugs/5121 songwrite]
 * [https://launchpad.net/bugs/5319 opencv]

=== 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...

In Progress Smile :)
