Shomyu was born after frustration from not being able / wanting to use the proprietary Frappr service that [http://www.fedora-fr.org Fedora-Fr] was using at this time. Let's hope Shomyu can replace it if it ever gets in a working enough shape.

Here's what I want to do for 2010:
* Help develop more the [[:Category:French_team|french speaking community]] and have it work in a less "insular" way.
** [[User:Mrtom|Thomas]] and I published our [[Fedora-Fr_annual_report_2009 | 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
* Put to use the XO that I bought and help the OLPC / Sugar projects.
** OLPC-France needed more XO for a deployment in Madagascar, so I guess it's more useful to a Malagasy kid than sitting idly on my desk...

Mathieu Bridon

I'm a French junior system/software engineer, currently working as Linux Platform Developer for a managed security services company in Hong-Kong.

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 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 maintain some packages both in Fedora and EPEL.

Under pressure (and guidance) from Thomas Canniot, I became a Fedora Ambassador in June 2008, and in March 2010, Joerg Simon made me an Ambassador Mentor.

I have been the assistant secretary of the Fedora-Fr NPO from 2009 to 2011.

Development

Apart from minor contributions to several projects, I am a core contributor to the following projects.

Shomyu

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.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of time, this project is on hold for now.

PyF

I also contribute to the PyF framework. PyF is a pure Python framework for building flow-based applications, that is applications that can handle lots of data without ever loading more than one item in memory at a time, thus being highly scalable.
