=== Bug triaging and fixing ===

I am part of the Ubuntu BugSquad and I do my best to report and triage bugs.

I have fixed a few bugs in main and universe:

 ||denemo||0.7.4-2ubuntu3||Fix unmet librsvg2-common dependency.||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/32695 Malone #32695]||
 ||proftpd||1.2.10-27ubuntu1||Fix a "/var/run is on a tmpfs" issue.||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/34122 Malone #34122]||
 ||ghemical||1.91-2ubuntu2||Fix build on amd64 (and ia64 if mopac7 could be built on this arch).||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/36421 Malone #36421]||
 ||lprng||3.8.28-4ubuntu1||Fix a "/var/run is on a tmpfs" issue.||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/34409 Malone #34409]||
 ||ebtables||2.0.6-3ubuntu1||Fix a FTBFS on all arch.||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/37426 Malone #37426]||
 ||gnome-sudoku||0.4.0-2ubuntu2||Rebuild against fixed lib and desktop file issue||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/5544 Malone #5544]||
 ||gimp-gap||2.2.0-2ubuntu1||Upstream patch adaptation||[https://launchpad.net/bugs/32900 Malone #32900]||

=== IRC ===

I spend a lot of time on #ubuntu-fr, #ubuntu-fr-testing, #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-motu helping people as much as I can.

=== French translations ===

I am certainly not the most active translator in the French Translation Team but when I am not wandering about Malone I try to translate a few packages.

== Plans ==

I would like to:

 * Become a MOTU to help maintaining Universe and stop bothering MOTUs when I have got a tiny patch.
 * Package a few missing applications.
 * Help new packagers on #ubuntu-motu and REVU.
 * Get a little more involved in the French Translation Team.
 * Spread Ubuntu everywhere.

== Testimonials ==

 * While I cannot judge Toadstool's technical abilities or packaging skills, I can vouch for his community spirit. He's a regular at #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-bugs, and has often helped others, and kept the action lively. Always a gentleman with great manners, he defines the spirit of an Ubuntero. I suppose we could certainly use more new members like Toadstool! -- CarthikSharma

Jérémie "Toadstool" Corbier

I am a 20 year-old french guy. I study telecommunications engineering in Brest, France. I am particularly interested in the current deployment of IPv6. I am also network and system administrator of the [http://resel.fr/ ResEl] association.

Linux and me

I have been using GNU/Linux since November 2000. My first experience was with a Debian Potato I installed on my parents' old computer. As I did not have a permanent nor efficient Internet connection at that time I had to wait for Woody release to discover a little further this world.

I use Ubuntu since Warty was released. At that time I was thrilled by this distribution because it was the first to work out of the box on my laptop. I have been an Ubuntu user since then and I have decided to help making Dapper the best Linux distro ever released.

I have organized 4 Ubuntu Install Parties (about 60 attendees each time) in my engineering school.
