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.

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.

* 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:

Mathieu Bridon

I'm a French system/software engineer, currently working as Linux Platform Developer for 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 maintain some packages in Fedora and EPEL.

Under pressure (and guidance) from Thomas Canniot, I became a Fedora Ambassador in June 2008. I have been an Ambassador mentor from March 2010, when Joerg Simon appointed me, to March 2012.

I have also been the assistant secretary of the Borsalinux-Fr NPO, from 2009 to 2011, back when it was still called Fedora-Fr.

These days, I'm mostly hacking on Fedora build/releng infrastructure projects like Bodhi and the Cangjie/Quick Chinese input methods.
