I live in France, I am 22 years old and I started using FLOSS in 2006. I started using GNU/Linux with Debian and then I switched to Ubuntu just few weeks later. I have used each version of Ubuntu since the 6.06 LTS. I'm currently looking for a job (involving networks & telecoms skills) and I would be really happy if I could work for a company which uses Free Softwares. I also started programming in 2006 using C and Java languages. I really enjoy Java and Ubuntu (GNOME desktop), that's why I try to contribute to the java-gnome project as much as I can. I also created an application called GNOME Split (written in Java with java-gnome) which helps people to split a file in many chunks and then be able to merge them back.

Testimonials
Guillaume has been an impressive contributor to the Java bindings to GTK for several years. He is polite, well spoken, enthusiastic, and supportive of others both in email and online via IRC. He has grown from being a Java developer using the library to write his user interface code to a hacker contributing Java and C code to the library itself. He was largely responsible for getting it packaged, co-ordinating with the Debian Java team and subsequently maintaining the java-gnome PPA tracking the latest releases. We're pleased to have him as a part of our community.
