| == Who I am ==
| | I'm a French system/software engineer, currently working as Linux Platform Developer for [http://www.network-box.com.hk/ a managed security services company] in Hong-Kong, where I build our custom distribution from EL and Fedora packages (in Fedora-speak, I do packaging, sysadmin-build and releng). |
| 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 -_-)

|
| My major achievement until now is the co-founding with [[MohamedElMorabity|Mohamed Elmorabity]] of the [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris 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 [http://forums.fedora-fr.org forums], so those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other, and build [http://www.nalley.sc/david/?p=59 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, [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris Fedora | Paris] aims at seeing what lays beyond the geeky mask.

| [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/fedora-paris 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 [[MaxSpevack|Max Spevack]] and [[YaakovNemoy|Yaakov Nemoy]] as international guests (as well as the French community members who don't live in Paris but gave us a visit). | | [[Category:Ambassadors_from_France]] |

| | |
| === Development ===
| |
| I initiated [http://fedorahosted.org/shomyu 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 [http://www.fedora-fr.org Fedora-Fr] is [http://www.fedora-fr.org/frappr 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 [[FedoraEvents/ReleaseParty/F10/Paris|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 [http://www.fedora-fr.org 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 [http://olpc-france.org OLPC-France] association, share events with them, ...
| |
| * Have [https://fedorahosted.org/shomyu 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 "[[FedoraEvents/PermanencesCarrefourNumerique|permanences au Carrefour Numérique]]".
| |
| * Attend some important events:
| |
| ** '''February''': [[FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2009|<s>FOSDEM - Bruxelles</s>]]
| |
| *** see my [http://blog.fedora-fr.org/bochecha/post/2009/02/FOSDEM-2009-report report]
| |
| ** '''March''': [[FedoraEvents/SolutionsLinux/SolutionsLinux2009|<s>Linux Solutions - Paris</s>]]
| |
| *** not going, could not have the days off
| |
| ** '''June''': [[FUDCon:Berlin_2009|FUDCon - Berlin]]
| |
| *** propose a [https://fedorahosted.org/shomyu shomyu] hackfest ?
| |
| ** '''July''': [[FedoraEvents/RMLL/RMLL2009|RMLL - Nantes]] (page not created yet)
