5 I'm Technical Director of [[XWiki SAS>>http://www.xwiki.com]], a company developing [[XWiki>>http://www.xwiki.org]], an open source [[second generation wiki>>http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki]].

7 I'm really interested in anything that can make computer development a better "science", i.e. that helps the software engineering discipline. As a consequence, I've been researching and participating in the following areas over the past few years:
8 * Development methodologies and especially applying agile methodologies in the field.
9 * Tools / frameworks, especially in the domain of Builds, Tests and generally quality control.
10 * Making collaboration easy even from a distance.
