Ubuntu involvement
Community
As an Ubuntu user I try to do my best helping the community, especially in live discussion on some Ubuntu irc channels (#ubuntu-fr, #ubuntu-fr-testing, #xubuntu, #xubuntu-fr).
Easier MOTUing
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 (Feel free to email me if you have questions about how the MOTU world works!).

- and Xfce related packages:
- xfce4-dev-tools

- screenshooter plugin
- pyxfce (NEW in edgy)

I've touch a bunch of universe [https://launchpad.net/people/gauvainpocentek/+packages packages], while working on:
- merges (for Edgy)
- transitions (OCaml, Xfce 4.4 panel)
- bug fixes...
I also try to clean [http://revu.tauware.de REVU] a bit, and help new packagers on #ubuntu-motu.
Main Packages worked on
I think I've touched almost all the Xfce Panel plugin just before their promotion to Main
- Xfburn
- Thunar plugins
- exo (python-exo package)
- goffice and gnumeric multibuilds
- xubuntu-meta
