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. I also moderate the french Lily mailing list.

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]. 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).

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

Helping new packagers with comments on REVU, or on irc is a really important and interesting task :)

Ubuntu involvement

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).

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.

Packages

New packages

I've created various new packages for dapper:

Syncs / Merges

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... Wink ;)

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...
