My work for Ubuntu

After almost 3 years working on deployment of Ubuntu in education and on LTSP at Revolution Linux, I joined Canonical to focus on Ubuntu even more. I'm now working as a Foundations team member on installer issues, networking (mostly IPv6), containers (LXC, arkose) and storage (multipath, iscsi). I'm also one of the two main Edubuntu contributors and an upstream developer of quite a few tools that we ship in Edubuntu (including LTSP).

Other than that I'm active in a few other teams as listed above.

Interests

When it comes to computer science I've got pretty varied interests and knowledges. I'm initially a network guy who's been managing some pretty complex networks (think IPv6, BGP, IPSEC, dual-stack firewalls, high availability and clustering) but I've also been doing quite a lot of development over the years and am upstream to quite a few software.

Over the last 3 years I grew an interest for application and system containers, initially using OpenVZ and then becoming involved with the LXC guys and working on tools to make them easier to use (arkose).

I also have quite a bit of interest for the use of Ubuntu in education through the work I do in maintaining Edubuntu and other tools that are heavily used in education such as LTSP and iTalc.

What else ?

I'm 21 (in 2011, in case I forget to update the page :)), living since August 2008 in Sherbrooke, QC, CA. I used to live in Bevaix, NE, CH and did my studies there before moving for work to Canada.
