GPUL

I'm also a member of GPUL, the LUG which organized the latest Akademy.

This LUG also allowed me to place a computer in its office where I usually do my packaging tasks, so I can get a higher upload bandwidth compared with my home internet connection. This way it is and has been very helpful to various distributions (right now Kubuntu and siduction).

I have been a member of the board of this LUG in the past and made some work to improve this LUG, such as collaborating in the set up of the mailing lists still used today to organize events.

I also worked on the organization of various events under the umbrella of GPUL, among others I made a KDE/Qt hacklab with my good friend and KDE developer José Millán.
