About Me
French, I was born in Dakar in 1964.
After living in Gorée Island, Pointe-Noire, Nosy-Be, Arzens, and Paris, I came back to Arzens in 1996 to live near the Canal du Midi and the Medieval City of Carcassonne, in the South of France.
Since 1994, I work as an independent Developer, Trainer and Technical translator.
In November 2007, I switched from Windows to Ubuntu - details here.

Contributions
Spreading Ubuntu: Since I like that distribution I use everyday, I help spreading Ubuntu, mainly trough my personal blog, and more recently via Ubuntu & Co, my new blog at ZDNet France.
Helping Ubuntu users: From time to time, I write some tutorials like this one about Ubuntu Netbook Remix install with ImageWriter or this one explaining how to solve sound issues with Intrepid.
News translation: Sometime, I also translate in French some posts from Mark Shuttleworth blog, and more regularly, the Ubuntu Security News.
My Vision for Ubuntu
Stay on top of the curve while continuing to respect upstream projects, GNU/Linux developers and users, and all the various contributors to the Open Source ecosystem.
