Short Biography

I'm Linux system engineer, fall in love for Debian since Etch and in GNU/Linux and free software since 2000 approx. I was nurse when I did my first contribution for Debian in 2009, it was a hobby before to begin my new job. I started by adopt some tiny orphaned packages (dtmfdial, wmsun, wmoonclock) to practice a little bit before to contribute more seriously and I took part to "new contributor game" organized by Raphael Hertzog. https://wiki.debian.org/RaphaelHertzog/NewContributorGame Thanks to this game, I became one of the midnight-commander (mc) package maintainers (my favorite package). Then I contributed a little bit in the accessibility team and other packages like fluxbox, lynx, qelectrotech, abook and pgadmin3.

I'm part of Debian France board and I organized a mini-DebConf in 2017 at Toulouse https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/fr/2017/Toulouse.
