About me

Hi wiki user! I am Gauvain Pocentek. I'm an Ubuntu user since the Warty release, and 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)

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.

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 ;)

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...
