== Jonathan Ernst == Hello, My name is Jonathan Ernst (jernst). I'm 28 and live in Geneva, Switzerland.
I'm a computer scientist and I'm using Linux since 1999. I'd like to be an Ubuntu member because I feel I belong to this community and can contribute something back.
I'm member of Ubuntu Swiss Users and Ubuntu French Translators. I'm mostly working on French l10n (most GNOME packages), Wine, advocacy, user support, system administration and bug triage/reporting.
