My main work for Ubuntu is related to GNOME (since I'm a GNOME hacker...). I've helped by fixing some bugs, adding some functionnalities. It's difficult to find the bugs for which I made patches but I made many patches before Warty. I've also implemented the new main menu in the panel for Ubuntu (and integrated it into GNOME) and some other features for Hoary.  * advocacy (booth, presentations, etc.) in France
 * help integrating and fixing GNOME
 * bug triaging

What can I give to Ubuntu? I can't exactly know, but it'll be related around these things:

 * GNOME integration and making GNOME better
 * bug days
 * Ubuntu-fr
 * advocacy

I don't think I can do all this on my own and in fact, I don't want to do this alone: cooperation is essential. Becoming an Ubuntu member would definitely help me with this, IMHO.

I'm in the last year of my PhD thesis so it's true that I probably won't have a lot of time to make all this real. But I want to be more active :-)

=== GNOME stuff ===

I'll of course continue to hack on GNOME. I believe I can help implementing some features that should be in GNOME and that Ubuntu badly wants. I also will continue to help with identifying/fixing some Ubuntu-specific bugs.

=== Bug days ===

I'd like to see more Ubuntu bug days. More triage. Less bugs. I'm active for the GNOME bug days and I believe I know what it involves and how it should be done.

=== Ubuntu-fr ===

Right now, I'm not involved in Ubuntu-fr. One of the reason is that, as far as I can see, Ubuntu-fr is more a support/translator organization than anything else. For now. I'd like to see Ubuntu-fr more involved in advocacy and also Ubuntu development.

I'd also like to help Ubuntu-fr translators coordinate with other translators. I'm not a translator myself, though ;-)

=== Advocacy ===

I'm a GNOME advocate. I already do some Ubuntu advocacy when I'm at a GNOME booth (we distributed > 500 Ubuntu CD at the RMLL, eg) but I think we can do a better job at this, in France and other french-speaking countries.

This is important and I have some experience in this area.

== People who can confirm all this ==

SebastienBacher, JeffWaugh, LionelDricot and a lot of other people can probably confirm most of what is written here.
