Author of Dr Geo
Beside that, I build up OFSET, an organization to promote the development of free educational software for Gnome, more there.
Concerning my job, after working 5 years in Taïwan as teacher at the Taipei French School, I am now woring in the field of Education Ingeneering at the CNDP/CRDP Bordeaux/CDDP des Landes. At this occasion I am developping sevaral web application using Zope. Very interesting!

A long time I haven't post anything there.
Yesterday I have just release the 0.6.0 version of
Dr.Genius.
It now integrates Guile, so it is possible to add script
item in the figure
to do various funny things. It appears now DrGenius needs a
documentation.
I tried today, wtihout any result, to integrate the Gnome documentation system in the drgenius2 module. I feel developping under Gnome become more and more painfull, it is no more fun! This is actually not good when developping free software :-) For the Dr.Genius documentation I am now seriously considering using Hyperlatex to generate both PDF and HTML documentation. I have used it for my job and I am quite happy with it (HyperLatex examples ).
It took me the last evening to vote for the Gnome foundation board of director. I've decided to post it there my choices. I don't expect someone will care about that but in one year i will be able to review which people I choose and why.
That's it.
The people I choose are all but two technicians.
I try to balance the technical ability so the board
has an excellent overall knowledge on Gnome. The
exception are only Jim, Bart, John but these ones have
skill the other don't have. I also try to balance the
geographic repartion and get
some director from europe. I'm just disappointed we don't
get candidate from asia.
Undo/Redo code is progressing smoothly. It now works for creation, deletion, motion, changing item attribute. This is a really nice feature. Also I 've take care to implement a nice way to handle the undo/redo-buttons/menu item, so that other DrGeniusMDI can use the same UI mecanism. When I'll have finished that, I've decided to implement Guile scriptability for the geometric engine, GKO will eventually help on that but well... I'm quite carefull with code contributor now, I've learn a lot with Dr.Genius concerning this topic, it's difficult for people to keep sustained motivation in free software project.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
