A quick update on my professional and open source activities:
Firstly, I’ll go freelance as a Drupal web developper during the next month, after eight months as an employee. The big crazy jump. But that’s crazy stuff that keeps me alive After Ubuntu Brainstorm and France24, I’ll be looking for Drupal related work.
Then Ubuntu Brainstorm […]
After being delayed a few months due to some technical requirements, the new Ubuntu Brainstorm is here! It was partially sponsored by the Stockholm airport back in august. It includes:
The new moderator team (25 people!), which can now enter into action. It is also easier to contact them.
An easier way for users to interact with […]
At last UDS, Nick Ali and I felt that really, some real news website was needed, and I won’t go again through the rationale (see this post). The matter was discussed (see blueprint page), and summary of the session can be found here. (Nick, could you link it on the blueprint page?)
I’ve started working on […]
We got a UDS session about new ways to handle Ubuntu news today (blueprint, summary of the discussion). Basically, it comes down to three things :
Convince people and teams this is really needed
Posting restrictions : who can post, and how?
Visibility of this website: We want better than that.

The Ubuntu Fridge. Great […]

To make this survey, I placed myself as a newbie, an outsider which has some very basic Linux notions. I never used command […]
Intrepid is out, a new cycle begins… Time for planning!
I wrote a small document about Ubuntu Brainstorm trying to summarize what’s going on there (with a few stats), what you can expect from it, a summary of the most wanted features from its users, and its impact. I wrote this hoping to give to contributors […]
What do we need to get innovative stuff implemented?
A great idea
The manpower
The infrastructure and toolset
(1) is now more or less successfully covered by Ubuntu Brainstorm. Concerning (3), some good infrastructures exists around here, such as Launchpad, and development toolsets are good but not yet optimal IMO (I’ll keep that for later). (2) is much more […]
Hey, nice catchy title, isn’t it?
To be more precise, the LFV group, owner of the larger aiports in Sweden, is running in cooperation with two swedish universities, an airline ground handler and one IT consulting firm a project called “Airport Living Lab” (english on the second part). Quoting its mission:
By harnessing the concept […]
