Jean-Philippe MENGUAL

I was born on 1986. I studied at Sciences po Aix en Provence from 2004 to 2009 and became a worker for the French State. As a blind user, I needed to find alternative solutions to get my computer accessible without paying more than 1500 euros. As a computing fan, I started then with Debian. In 2008 I became an active membre in the accessibility team, and president of Traduc.org. I became the coordinator of the Linux from Scratch project French translation, BRLTTY, VirtualBox manual, translation. In 2015, I wanted to support free software beyond talks in events (LSM, FOSDEM, etc). I created Hypra to help improving free software, in particular their accessibility, with financial resources. On other hand, I wanted to promote it, and Debian in particular, for end-user. Hence an economical project to fund free software dev and lettingpeople get benefit of free software regardless his level and sight. I left the tralsation of LFS, a new coordinator could do it. I am yet involved in BRLTTY translation and Debian.
