J'utilise Ubuntu Linux comme principal OS depuis février 2005. I am a founder and member of Ubuntu Studio team since it started, back in 2006. I am not skilled with application development, so my main concern is to do my best to get things working: bug reporting, applications testing, hardware testing, documentation, convincing developers, etc.

 * I will continue to spend my free time in improving Ubuntu Studio, and more generally multimedia in Ubuntu. And dreaming to be paid to do that one day...
