ABOUT ME

I'm a computer engineer, living with my gf near Grenoble.

PHILOSOPHY

I strongly believe in sharing knowledge, hence my contributions in free software, Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap.
"Intellectual property" is a nonsense : ideas exist to be shared. I strongly support free licences with a strong copyleft, and the enforcement of Public Domain as a global common heritage.

Interests

All form of free digital culture, including free software, OpenStreetMap, Wikimedia and digital freedoms.
I think you can consider me as quite a science geek too (a little practice in astronomy), but I am gradually switching to humanities, like linguistics (absolute beginer) and archeology.
