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 -_-)

=== 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 [http://www.fedora-fr.org french community] (but had to pause a little lately).
 
I co-founded with [[User:Melmorabity|Mohamed Elmorabity]] 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 [[User:Mspevack|Max Spevack]] and [[User:Ynemoy|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 [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/bochecha some packages] in Fedora and EPEL.


I also contribute to Fedora by [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/bochecha packaging].
Under pressure (and guidance) from [[User:Mrtom|Thomas Canniot]], I became a [[Ambassadors|Fedora Ambassador]] in June 2008. I have been an Ambassador mentor from March 2010, when [[User:Jsimon|Joerg Simon]] appointed me, to March 2012.

As of February 2009, I am the assistant secretary of the [http://asso.fedora-fr.org Fedora-Fr NPO].
These days, I'm mostly hacking on Fedora build/releng infrastructure projects like [https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi Bodhi] and [http://cangjians.github.io the Cangjie/Quick Chinese input methods].


=== Development ===
{{ #fedorabadges: bochecha }}
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.

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.
* Collaborate more with the [http://olpc-france.org OLPC-France] association, share events with them, ...
* 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)
* Actually use the XO that I bought and help the OLPC / Sugar projects.
* Have [https://fedorahosted.org/shomyu shomyu] actually used by some community (which means "start coding, you lazy me !" :)

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.
