| I have a lot of projects but not enough time. I’ve started following an increasing number of Python bugs in the tracker, too. I hope I’ll be able to help. I like fixing boring stuff like typos, documentation or idioms. | Thanks to the Google Summer of Code 2010, I have been able to give back to the Python community by hacking on distutils2. Working with four other students, Tarek and the other mentors was an incredible learning and coding experience. I have push rights to the main repository, so I can pull work from other contributors and make them feel warm and fuzzy. Just before the end of GSoC, I have been made a Python core developer to help fixing bugs in distutils, until the new generation is ready. |

| I’m rather new to the community, so I’ve put up this page to introduce myself. I chat in the IRC room, I read a number of mailing lists, and check bugs in certain areas to see if I can help. | I have reviewed a great number of distutils bug and intend to close all of them. I have also started a round of updating wiki pages about distutils and distutils2 (to be finished). I like to work on the Python documentation and miscellaneous bugs or features too. |

| In real life, I am a student. This year, I’m taking part in the Summer of Code under the mentoring of C. Titus Brown to work on Distutils2 alongside four other students, three more mentors and the packager-in-chief Tarek Ziadé. I’m very happy to have been accepted and to work with these cool people. You can talk with us in #distutils on Freenode! | There are a lot of other projects I’m interested in without enough time to contribute. I have some changesets in Gajim, my IM client, I follow Mercurial from afar, and I report bugs to Debian, my favorite operating system. I have a number of pet projects, some merely a name and a one-line description, which I hope to write one day! |

| I’ll make a round of updating wiki pages about distutils and distutils2 after GSoC is over. | In real life, I am a student. I support [[http://www.python.org/community/diversity/|diversity]]. I like cycling and climbing. |

I deeply enjoy programming with Python. My particular interests are the Web, XMPP, i18n, command-line interfaces, modular programs, GTK applications, and Mercurial. I like discovering elegant solutions and helping people.
