Mathieu Bridon
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 and a RHCE.
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 [[:Category:French_team|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 was using at this time. Let's hope Shomyu can replace it if it ever gets in a working enough shape.
Events
I participated in the organization of several events in France.
Plans for 2010
Here's what I want to do for 2010:
- Help develop more the french speaking community and have it work in a less "insular" way.
- Thomas and I published our 2009 activities and financial report and we will continue doing the same each year, which is a great first step in communicating on our actions
- let's try and find more ways to have better relationship with the rest of the broader community
- Collaborate more with the OLPC-France association, share events with them, ...
- 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 !" :)
- So far, it seems like the Fedora, Mozilla, Mandriva-Fr, Slitaz and Ubuntu-Fr communities might be interested in using shomyu \o/
