Short bio:
When he's not procrastinating or eating ice cream, Vincent Untz shows his real face: he is an active Free Software enthusiast, GNOME lover and advocate. Rumours say Vincent started contributing by triaging bugs for the GNOME Bugsquad, before becoming maintainer of various GNOME modules. However, he finds it's simpler to declare he is a "touche-à-tout", working on various (some say random) areas of the desktop. Vincent Untz is also trying to cure his coding addiction, by holding positions such as GNOME Release Manager (2007, and, surprisingly, ongoing), member of the GNOME Release Team, GNOME Foundation director (2006-2008), founding president of GNOME-FR (2005-2008), or chairman of the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee (2002-2005). Vincent is still pushing French as official language for GNOME, and hopes to succeed really soon now.
French version:
Vincent Untz aime à se présenter comme un touche-à-tout dans GNOME, puisqu’il contribue (de manière aléatoire, disent certains) à de nombreux niveaux dans GNOME. Alors qu'il tente de guérir sa tendance à coder, Vincent reste un développeur actif tout en s'investissant dans l'organisation du projet : il est ainsi devenu le Release Manager de GNOME et un des membres du conseil d'administration de la Fondation GNOME. Il cherche toujours à faire adopter le français comme langue officielle du projet et a bon espoir d'y parvenir bientôt.
