Revision as of 15:54, 25 May 2009
Who I am
I'm a french junior system engineer in an IT service company specialized in FOSS.
I'm currently living in what others call "the most beautiful city in the world": Paris (they are so wrong -_-)
I also am a Novell CLP.
Realisations in the FOSS community
Fedora
I've been using Fedora since Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux, what a wonderful name :-). Since then, I've been an active member in the french community.
Mohamed Elmorabity and I co-founded the Fedora | Paris project. What we do is gather the Fedoristas who live in Paris and have diner more or less every 2 weeks, and more if the night goes on. Of course, we all already know each other on IRC or on the forums, so those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other, and build friendship inside our community. The subjects of conversation can be geared towards Fedora but it is not mandatory. We are not a LUG, Fedora is merely what brought us together. Put in other words, Fedora | Paris aims at seeing what lays beyond the geeky mask. Fedora | Paris is also responsible of providing the restaurants and after parties for the Fedora Community regarding events organized in Paris. As a result, we are proud to count Max Spevack and Yaakov Nemoy as international guests (as well as the French community members who don't live in Paris but gave us a visit).
I also contribute to Fedora by packaging.
Under pressure (and guidance) from Thomas Canniot, I became a Fedora Ambassador in June 2008.
As of February 2009, I am the assistant secretary of the Fedora-Fr NPO.
Development
I initiated shomyu. The goal is to provide a web application for members of a community to locate themselves and add a short description about them.
Shomyu was born after frustration from not being able / wanting to use the proprietary frappr service that Fedora-Fr is currently using. Let's hope shomyu can replace it if it ever gets in a working enough shape.
Events
I participated in the organization of the F10 Release Party in Paris where I lead some workshops.
Plans for 2009
Here's what I want to do for 2009:
- Help develop more the french speaking community and have it work in a less "insular" way.
- restructure the wiki of the NPO
- make weekly and bimonthly reports on what is going on in the french community
- Collaborate more with the OLPC-France association, share events with them, ...
- Establish a strong Fedora presence in Paris, especially by making sure Fedora will always be well represented in the "Premier samedi à la Cité des Sciences".
- We've attended the event every month since march, which is already quite a success
- Attend some important events:
- February:
FOSDEM - Bruxelles- see my report
- March:
Linux Solutions - Paris- did not go, could not have the days off
- June: FUDCon - Berlin
- I'll be leading a shomyu hackfest
- July: Rencontres_Mondiales_du_Logiciel_Libre_2009
- February:
- Put to use the XO that I bought and help the OLPC / Sugar projects.
- Have shomyu actually used by some community (which means "start coding, you lazy me !" :)
