Me and Myself

Who Am I IRL ?

I'm a french (21), living in Brittany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany). I'm in an engineering school (http://www.enib.fr), i'll get my master in Computer Science next year.

Actually i work daily on a project for my school about 3D representation of ship and climate conditions of the sea. Plus there is a big network part in this project (connecting a C++ client to a matLab server and using data).

...Online ?

You can contact me by mail or GTalk using lao.geek(at)gmail.com .

My nicknames on Wesnoth are:

• lao on the forum
• La0 on the wiki (lao was already taken :/ )
• lao on gna.org
• Lao on IRC

Experience

Development

I've worked on many websites as a developper (i'm not a design guy !), mostly in PHP, using XHTML/CSS, and sometimes Javascript (with Jquery). Many of my school's projects were made in C/C++ (nethack-like game, HTTP/HTTPS server with cgi server, paint-like ,...); I've played with JAVA (JSF, JQuery for the web, Netbeans ide...) but I rather prefer C++.

Speaking of GUIs, i've made some in Tcl/TK, Qt, and C# but no GTK at the moment. Like most Linux developpers (... and admins) i've made lots of shell scripts, a bit of python,... and played with config files.

Open Source

I'm an occasional developper for ZenPhoto http://zenphoto.org, the simplest and cleanest web photo gallery! I've worked on the video support for ZenPhoto http://la0c00n.info/zenvideo . Now videos are officially supported in the core Zenphoto, no more needs for hacky patches :p I have been very busy at school this year, so little implicated recently in this project.

I have NOT participated in any ways to the Google Summer of Code before.

Games

I'm not a big gamer, but enjoy some good FPS : Half Life 1&2, Portal, Counter Strike (original, not really into Source), all Call of Duty, Serious Sam (only in coop!). I like RPG games as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights,... I play a bit on my Wii too: Zelda, Super Mario Galaxy, Wario Smooth moves.

Now, for Open Source Games: Lbreakout2, Tremulous, frozen-bubble, ... and Wesnoth of course :)
