Isabelle Duchatelle

Personnal

  • French biologist in Academia (Université de Caen, France). Mother of 3 boys.

  • Using Ubuntu since Warty. All of my teaching presentations are on OOo. I have been giving around install CDs to my students, set up a local group to promote open source applications on my University free-access computers, and moodle classes to train and certify first to third year students basic desktop skills (OOo, Thunderbird, Firefox, ftp protocols, jabber protocols, basic GIMP and CLI). The certification is recognized by the French "Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale". The current project is to set up a more specialized Internet and Computer certification for Master students in Sustainable Development & Environment programs.

Ubuntu Community

  • Former moderator on French Ubuntu Forums (joined in January 2005) and current moderator on Official Ubuntu Forums. Profile here. Ubuntuforums staff team is a real pleasure to work with. The Forum Council offers a real professional environment to the Moderator Team, both regarding the software and servers work, and smart guidance with community and/or members issues. ubuntuforums would not be the same without them, would not have grown so much without the friendly and perfect grounds they maintain.

  • Active member of ubuntu-women

  • Translations: I have been an approved member of the Ubuntu French Translators on Launchpad and member of the French team translating Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter to Lettre Hebdomadaire Ubuntu and owner of the LHU Launchpad team for several years. Recent personal events have reduced the time I could allow to these projects.

  • Contributor to UWN

  • Owner of a small French-speaking jabber room ([email protected]). Fun stuff only!

  • LP profile: https://launchpad.net/~bapoumba

I have Women in FOSS related entries on my blog

Testimonials (old, from the Ubuntu Membership process)

from MattHelmke: I think Isabelle is one of the most outstanding candidates available. She is a great asset in the forums (FYI, I'm one of the five Forums Council members and an Ubuntu Member), not only as an excellent staff member, but also as a general forums participant. She would make a wonderful addition to the list of Ubuntu Members and should be approved immediately. Smile :)

Isabelle is a long time contributor to Ubuntu-women and the french Ubuntu team. She has always been very supportive and I strongly vote for her to become an Ubuntu member ASAP Smile :-) MyriamSchweingruber

Testimonials (new, for the CC to see as we consider bapoumba for membership on the Forum Council)

  • MattHelmke - Isabelle is already an Ubuntu Member and an amazing part of the Ubuntu Forums community. She has shown excellent leadership and maturity in all of her interactions with other staff and forum members at large, as well as an amazing amount of insight and patience when helping people with problems or dealing with difficult members. I think she is a perfect fit for a leadership role because of her consistently good example and kind attitude. She speaks the truth, and does so in a way that communicates clearly while never offending. That is a gift. She also does this in a language that is not her native tongue, which is impressive and speaks highly of her ability to communicate. She will be an amazing addition.
