I'm 26 years old french engineer, living in Marseille (South of
France) with my girlfriend and our 4 children. I was studying in
ECM (Ecole Centrale Marseille) in mathematics and computer
science. Now I am working for 4 years as manager and system
administrator in Evolix, a french "free software startup".
I discovered computers with playing on Amstrad CPC 6128 about 20
years ago. I remember I wrote few lines in BASIC language but not
really more. And I discovered Internet with a two-months-free (as
free beer ;) offer of Compuserve ISP and modem 14.400 bd about
15 years ago. But my principal use was online chat with people
around the world in Compuserver channels :-)
My real experience with computers began in 2000 when I bought my
own computer. I tried to use Microsoft Windows 98 but quickly I
installed also Mandrake 7.2 to have similar environment I had in
the computers of my school. I was very enthusiastic with Linux
and I spent a lot of my time to install/test/remove softwares, to
test exotic hardware (graphic cards, USB modems...). But I felt
me limited by Mandrake and particularly in packages management
and somebody encouraged me to switch to Debian. It was in 2002
(just before Woody was stable) and then I install it (and I still
use it, as you can see output of 'ls -l /var/log/uucp.log' command:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2002-05-30 02:11 /var/log/uucp.log).
It was so fun because my screen had identical appearance I had in
the computers of my school (the famous blue wallpaper by default
in KDE 2.2) and my system is ready for C programming. Other
students wanted too this fabulous operating system and I helped
installing Woody on some computers with various hardware. I had
few problems with drivers or with proprietary scientific
softwares and I became aware of the importance of concepts of
free software. After playing with some desktops tasks (testing
several window managers, multimedia softwares, etcetera) I learnt
sysadmin tasks. I set up my own Debian gateway (PPPoE connexion,
Iptables, Squid, IPv6) and my own server with mail services
(SMTP, POP(S)/IMAP(S), webmail), files services (NFS, Samba), web
services (HTTP, (My|Postgre)SQL, PHP) and other tools. I like
a lot syadmin work and then, in 2004, I created a startup with
two friends to offer free software services (particularly
Debian support) and I installed several dozen Debian servers for
various structures. Naturally I became interested to social and
devel sides of Debian: reading devel mailing lists, learning how
packaging, helping with french translation, meeting DD.
I sent my first ITP in december 2005 for horde-sam package.
Because I use Horde webmail on my mail servers, I take part of
pkg-horde alioth team and I co-maintain now some horde packages
(chora2, gollem, horde-sam, horde3, ingo1, kronolith2, mnemo2,
nag2, sork-forwards-h3, sork-vacation-h3 and turba2). I maintain
also some PHP PEAR packages (php-auth, php-file, php-date and
soon php-log) and a tool to set up easily PPPoE connection:
pppoeconf (now in collab-maint team). Like a good debian user,
I try to report all bugs that I found and joining a patch.
Note that I maintain a summary about my Debian work on the wiki:

All this informations can be made public.
