About me

I'm a french-canadian pre-university student in science. I've been working with linux since around 2001. I tried various distributions like mandriva and fedora until I find ubuntu. I'm using ubuntu since warty and I really appreciate the job that the MOTUs and all the developpers do to make this distribution better.

My contribution to ubuntu

I fixed about all UniverseDesktopFileAbsolutePath myself with all the tips and help from seb128.

I sent a couple of patchs for the No desktop file problem. Some examples of the bugs I've reported for this issue :
#4899
#5288
#5544
#6726
#30110
#30113.

I packaged libfxscintilla there wich is now in the dapper repository. I also started packaging libfxruby1.4 wich can be found on REVU at this adress.

I've also done some translations for the french ubuntu team.

Finally, I do my best to triage here and there when I'm working on launchpad. Some simple examples of my triaging work : #15105
#17951

My plans for Ubuntu in the next future

I plan to finish packaging libfxruby1.4 once dapper will be released. After that I'd like to package freeRIDE wich is a ruby code editor written in ruby.

I also plan to continue my work with the french translation team and I'd be interested in helping with the documentation of ubuntu (either in french or in english or both).

I wish to become a MOTU one day to being able to contribute even more to the ubuntu community.

Other linux related work

I also help triaging bug on the gnome bugzilla.

I sent patchs for a few simple bugs on gnome bugzilla such as:
#135093
#154158
#315223
