Free softwares involvment

Lilypond

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.

Ubuntu involvement

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]:

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...

Most of the work I've done is helping with MUTO stuff. I start thinking about becoming a MOTU myself...
