Notes:

(francophones : si vous voulez vous marrer un bon coup, lisez la traduction de cette page par Google.)

I'm an independent IT specialist, specialized in Free Software, online communities and electronic communications.

I'm an instructor the IT training company Learning Tree International: "431: Perl Programming, Hands-On", "520: Hands-On MySQL: Database Administration and Web Development", "519: PHP for Web Development: Hands-On " and a French-only course "F202: Développement Web avec PHP : Fonctions avancées : Travaux Pratiques " (an advanced course about PHP programming).

I'm a member of April. April is, since 1998, a French non-profit association which aims at spreading the philosophy of the FSF. It is the first associated organization of the French Chapter.

I'm a kind of Perlmonger.

I've been working at Alcôve, between April 1999 and July 2004, as a Free Software consultant. This company's business-model is around value-added services: mainly consulting, training, 2nd level technical support, software development (from device drivers to high-level applications..) and hardware validation for use with GNU/Linux. For this job, I gave a course for IBM Global Services called «Free Software & Linux: State of the Art», written by 2 colleagues and me. I was the responsible for our newsletter called «Secrets d'Alcôve» (Alcove's Secrets) and I usually worked for web-oriented projects (in Perl or PHP, based on MySQL or PostgreSQL RDBMS).

I'm the technical director of a Swiss non-profit organization: Ynternet.org. The activity of this association is to cooperate with NGO in developing countries to help them communicating with one another. To achieve this goal we have 2 major projects: the MultyPass CMS and the community web site Cooperation.net. Any piece of software we work on is released under GNU GPL (sure !). Cooperation.net is a community web site, based on the Ruby On Rail toolkit, the IMP e-mail interface, a MySQL RDBMS and some other home-made extensions. This site aims at helping people, motivated by cooperation, to share skills, opinions and make their NGO communicate about their activities and programs. We have a lot of contacts in French-speaking countries and have set up a meeting in Senegal, in November 2000, called Afrilinux. There, we presented our projects and trained people to the Internet «correct behaviors»: well formed e-mails, mailing lists usage, using our Dynamit solution... The audience wasn't supposed to have any technical knowledge but to be young people working in development-oriented (non computer related) projects/NGO.

I'm on of the proofreaders of the Brave GNU World. The Brave GNU World is a monthly presentation of Free Software projects, done by greve (FSF Europe president.)

I'm now a member of the associate editors for the FSM (Free Software Magazine).

Some friends and I founded libroscope
