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]:
[http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/applications/apt/faq an apt FAQ]

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...

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...
