||<>|| = Jérémie "Toadstool" Corbier = I am a 21 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. We deal with a 500 machines students network and we provide some services such as 17 TV channels on LAN or @resel.fr Jabber accounts to our members. The whole services are powered by 12 Debian servers. == 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. == Contact == ||'''e-mail'''||jcorbier@ubuntu.com|| ||'''Jabber'''||jcorbier@resel.fr|| ||'''IRC'''||''Toadstool'' on freenode|| ||'''Launchpad'''||[[https://launchpad.net/people/jcorbier/|jcorbier]]|| == Ubuntu involvement == === Packaging and developments === * I am the Debian maintainer for [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wide-dhcpv6.html|wide-dhcpv6]], a well-programmed DHCPv6 solution and [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mmpython.html|mmpython]], a Python media metadata retrieval library. I am currently packaging [[http://freevo.sourceforge.net/|freevo]], an open-source home theatre, and [[http://slim.berlios.de/|SLiM]], a Simple Login Manager. * I have worked with Debian Lintian Maintainers and asked them to reserve -D and --debian options for Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu. I am now working on a Lintian patch to better include Ubuntu specific checks ([[https://launchpad.net/bugs/36505|Malone #36505]]). The -D switch will be used to get back to Debian behaviour. === 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 and made some merges. See [[https://launchpad.net/people/jcorbier/+packages|my Uploaded Packages list]]. === 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 ---- CategoryHomepage
