YannUbuntu / YannBuntu

About Me

I am an enthusiastic Ubuntu user and contributor since 2007 (Gutsy). I currently live in France. I can program in Bash and C, and I like to help other Ubuntu users in my spare time. My other interests are family, friends, sports, travels. You can write me in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or Japanese.

Testimonials

• You've been a leading contributor to the French translation of SpreadUbuntu, and do a great job finding materials to add to the marketing material repository. - edb82189

• Your application Boot-Repair was an "Ubuntu-saver" for me and lot of people where I suggested it. I see you constantly participating and helping others in UbuntuForums.org to overcome and solve problems , especially in boot-issues. I believe that YannBuntu would be a valuable addition to the Ubuntu community as an Ubuntu member. - NikTh
