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!). 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.

About me

Hi wiki reader!

I am Gauvain Pocentek., Ubuntu user since the Warty release. I became a MOTU during the Dapper development cycle.BR I'm an Xfce addict (have you seen the Xubuntu splash screen for Xfce? Just have a look at it, and you'll fall in love with Xubuntu too :p) and try to make Xubuntu rock.

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.

New packages

I've created various new packages for dapper:

MOTU Work

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 Smile :)

  • Xfburn
  • Thunar plugins
  • exo (python-exo package)
  • goffice and gnumeric multibuilds
  • xubuntu-meta

Edgy plans

Dapper has been a very big step for Xubuntu development, but it still needs a _lot_ of work. Keyboard and printers configuration tools, better management of launchers on the desktop (DnD from the menu), accessibility, IceWM and/or Fluxbox inclusion, stable Xfce 4.4 release packaging... That's too much for one person (hi Jani!).

So the plan is quite simple: I intend to help as much as I can on all these Xubuntu aspects, while continuing my MOTU job. I'm particularily interested in finding a way to avoid duplication between Ubuntu and Xubuntu (by working on a cdbs multibuild solution maybe). There's enough to do for each of these two DEs, no need to do the work twice!
