About Me

Linux user since 2006 (Mandriva, Fedora), and ubuntu user since 2007. I joined the group ubuntu-tn from the first days of its occurrence, and I am one of the members who participate in the first days of the offciel launch of group ubuntu-tn. I'm one of the core members of the Tunisian Local Community. I'm one of the founders of the approved Tunisian Loco Team ubuntu-tn and I was the first coordinator of the Event group. My main goal is to promote Ubuntu in Tunisia, with a focus to Tunisian universities as I'm an university student.

Contributions

Ubuntu-tn

  • Administrator and Owner of Ubuntu-tn Management Committee team in Launchpad. This team is reserved to the members of the elected Loco Team Management Committee.

  • Administrator and Owner of ubuntu-tn-users team in Launchpad. This team is open for all Tunisian ubuntu users.

  • I actively participated to mounting the ubuntu Tunisian local community with my presence in the irc channel and advertising the team in other FOSS Tunisian teams.
  • I was one of the most active members in the preparation of the approval process of ubuntu-tn as an official Loco Team. Using the mailing list (here and here), irc meetings (here and here) and real life meeting (some photos here and here). I was nominated by other members to present and defend the approval application during the Loco Council irc meeting. Our team was approved in July 22.

  • I heavily contributed into the ubuntu-tn team preparation and participation in the Tunisia Software Freedom Day 2007. This was the most important FOSS related event in Tunisia on 2007 year. It was the first time ubuntu Tunsian team core members meet in real life and the first time that a participation in a FOSS event is done with the the ubuntu-tn name. Some irc meetings August 13 2007, as well as August 14, 15 and 21. Some photos of this event.

  • I wrote an and participated on writing many wiki pages included under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TunisianTeam/.

  • In the Ubuntu-tn Management Committee, I'm :

    • The coordinator of the International Relationships Group. My mission in this group is to ensure the opening of the ubuntu-tn team on the international environment by maintaining regular contact with the Loco Council and Collaborating with other Loco Teams.

    • The assistant in the Secretary Group. The mission of this group is to produce and keep track of the minutes of team meetings.

    • The assistant in the Redaction Group. The mission of this group is to create documents (wiki, web pages, etcc..) and share them with other members for contributions.

  • I'm Frequently present on #ubuntu-tn for supporting and building Tunisian community.

Future involvement

  • Contribute with Tunisian Loco members to validate the Tunisian Loco Road Map.

  • Continue my involvement in the ubuntu-tn team life.

  • Mounting a legal entity (association) in Tunisia to get official recognition of the Loco by the Tunisian State.
  • Contribute to mount a larger Arabic community with other Arabic Loco Teams. We have some contacts with Jordan and Morocco teams.
    • Offering an Arabic support (documentation and forum) to the ubuntu Arabic community
  • Contribute to the twining project between ubuntu-tn and ubuntu-fr to share resources as the Tunisian community is largely French-speaking. This allow us to concentrate team efforts on Arabic support and documentation. We got first contacts with ubuntu-fr team and we will have more advanced discussions in the near future, I hope.
