| My areas of interest include : * '''efficient management of universe packages''' : I started working on '''["MOTUTools"]''', a set of scripts to help manage a lot of packages (see this [http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2005-November/000004.html status summary] for more info). My goal inside MOTU is to help reduce bottlenecks and make the whole process smoother by reducing complexity. * '''ruby-related packages''' : I am a Ruby programmer, and would like to improve the general quality of Ruby in Ubuntu (which wasn't really satisfying in Breezy). I work inside both '''["MOTURuby"]''' and the [http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/ Debian pkg-ruby-extras team] to achieve this goal, and am upstream & maintainer of several Ruby-related Debian packages. (See below for merges and bugs I worked on) I'm also interested in using ["AutomatedTesting"] to test ruby packages (which is easy, since most ruby software already comes with unit tests). * '''use of Ubuntu by non-computer-geeks''' : my 75 years old grandmother, as well as my mother and my girlfriend, are all Ubuntu users. I'd like to make it easier for people like them to use Ubuntu. I haven't thought about it a lot, but maybe starting a team like "Ubuntu for non-geeks" to share usage reports and track usability issues that makes it difficult to use Ubuntu for "normal people" would be a good start. Outside of Debian and Ubuntu, my work includes : * Upstream and Debian maintainer for : * [http://home.gna.org/feed2imap/ Feed2Imap] - RSS/Atom aggregator that uploads to IMAP * [http://home.gna.org/ruby-feedparser/ Ruby-Feedparser] - RSS/Atom feed parser library (to be uploaded to Debian soon) * [http://home.gna.org/xmpp4r/ XMPP4R] - Jabber library for Ruby * Jabber stuff: active member of the [http://www.jabber.org/ Jabber Software Foundation], administrator of the [http://jabber.apinc.org/ french largest Jabber server], founder of the [http://www.jabberfr.org/ JabberFR.org community site]. * One of the administrators of the [http://www.gna.org Gna!] sourceforge-like service. * Other stuff listed on [http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ my homepage] ---- = Ubuntu Work = * ["MOTUTools"] : a set of scripts to help manage a lot of packages (see also above).

Interests regarding Ubuntu
I am a long time Free Software and Debian user (since ~1998), developer and advocate. More than a year ago, I got the chance to beta-test what was by then called no-name-yet. I've been using and advocating Ubuntu since then.
