I know, it's really not related to ubuntu ^^ (but very close related to me) 04:11 effraie Ubuntu related pages: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Effraie | https://launchpad.net/~effraie 04:11 effraie I'm linux user since mandrake 9.2 (2001 if i correctly remember) and ubuntu user since warty stable release. 04:11 effraie As powerpc user, my first involvment in ubuntu was contributing in ppc section on french ubuntu forums. 04:12 effraie I setted up a third-part repository ( http://mental-ppc.tuxfamily.org/ ) with a friend, in order to provide some missing and/or buggy packages for ppc arch ( i think i was the first to release beryl & e17 packages for ppc, and i provide an xkb-data including a correct french apple keymap (2 examples the kind of packages we can provide).Now, i'm building medibuntu-ppc packages. 04:12 effraie I did learn to package on #ubuntu-fr-classroom (with gpocentek, mr_pouit...) and that classroom was my second most important involvment in ubuntu: i think that kind of project is a *very* powerfull way to involved new people in free software, and to make their skills growing up. 04:12 effraie That project is still growing up, and is certainly now the main place for "power-user" involvement in french ubuntu community. 04:12 effraie I did wrote many pieces of french "ubuntu on powerpc" documentation (see http://blog.effraie.org/tag/PowerPC ). I did really recently crashed my ibook, but it was the beginning for a new project i launched with bashelier: MefaB, wich stand for "mental farm buildd", wich main goal is to provide an easy way for repository admins and users to set up or contribute for decentralized build-farm. 04:12 effraie After have maintaining ubuntu-fr website for some time, i'm now one of the 2 "new" fr locoteam administrator. (cause the 3 currents admins are slowly switching to new/others projects/stuffs ) 04:12 effraie well... 04:13 effraie done :| 04:13 bashelier I *fully* support effraie's application, he has shown he was involved in many parts of Ubuntu tasks, in the french community 04:13 fernando bashelier, congrats 04:13 bashelier thanks fernando 04:13 gpocentek effraie is very very active in the french community since a while 04:13 skateinmars As a french ubuntu user (planet member, irc channels moderator), I'd like to advocate for effraie as he is really active in the french community. 04:13 dholbach effraie: it seems that none of your packages made it into Ubuntu yet - do you have plans for your packages to go into Ubuntu proper? 04:14 Adri2000 all the french community supports effraie's application! :) I do as well :) 04:14 effraie well, most of the package i did build was still in ubuntu, but not suitable on powerpc 04:14 effraie they are, now 04:14 dholbach ah ok, what about e17? 04:15 effraie well, i think rasterman has some reason for not including e17 in ubuntu, that's not *really* my business. but 04:15 effraie i'm building packages for the 04:15 Sp4rKy effraie help me and lutin on E17 repository 04:15 effraie ubuntu related edevelop repo 04:15 Sp4rKy helps* 04:16 effraie so, if the get into ubuntu.. 04:16 seb128 why not sending patches for buggy packages and contributing to MOTU rather than distributing there elsewhere? 04:16 dholbach I just know that there have been many people who asked for e17 packages already - it'd be great to have them 04:16 bashelier here is a sample of one of effraie's projects, take a look :) http://mefab.ff-irc.net/ 04:16 Sp4rKy dholbach: indeed, we're agree with you 04:16 effraie seb128: cause i was really not enough involved in community when i begin to do this 04:17 Sp4rKy anyway, rasterman, the main dev of E17, doesn't want we include this wm in official repos === myriam_rs would love to see e17 in Ubuntu too, one of the best looking shell-managers ever 04:17 Zic because E17 is still in development 04:17 effraie s/dev/huge dev 04:17 Zic :) 04:17 Sp4rKy so we built a third party repository, and effraie manages the ppc builds 04:17 Sp4rKy myriam_rs: there is a 3rd party repo :) 04:18 dholbach ok, let's move the e17 discussion to some other place - I didn't want to stir that up 04:18 dholbach effraie: do you plan to become a MOTU? 04:18 myriam_rs Sp4rKy: I know, I already use e17 in Ubuntu :-) 04:18 effraie but, the main moint of this application is ubuntu-fr locoteam, not my packaging stuff, i think 04:18 effraie so, dholbach why not, but it's not my main goal 04:18 effraie s/moint/point 04:18 dholbach I'd encourage you :) 04:19 effraie thanks ^^ 04:19 jsgotangco effraie: right, thanks for pointing that out, i was about to ask about your plans for the loco 04:19 effraie ubuntu fr locoteam is a huge community, and there a lot of work 04:19 dholbach for how long have you been involved in the loco?
