Revision as of 11:10, 20 February 2009
Who I am
I'm a french junior system engineer.
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 a very active member in the french community (but had to pause a little lately).
My major achievement until now is the co-founding with Mohamed Elmorabity of 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).
Recently, I started contributing by packaging.
Under pressure from Thomas Canniot, I became a Fedora Ambassador in June 2008.
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.
- Actually use the XO that I bought and help the OLPC / Sugar projects.
- Collaborate more with the OLPC-France association, share events with them, ...
- Have shomyu actually used by some community (which means "start coding, you lazy me !" :)
- Establish a strong Fedora presence in Paris, especially by making sure Fedora will always be well represented in the "permanences au Carrefour Numérique".
- Attend some important events:
- February:
FOSDEM - Bruxelles- see my report
- March:
Linux Solutions - Paris- not going, could not have the days off
- June: FUDCon - Berlin
- propose a shomyu hackfest ?
- July: RMLL - Nantes (page not created yet)
- February:
