About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing perspectives (cause all is about the context)

ABOUT ME

Basically, i prefer people to things, and ideas to fences.

I am a bootstrapper and a connector. I am not good at planning, i prefer doing.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be narrowed.
You dont like things just because you dont know them.
We all love things we know the best.
So lets learn! =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If i cannot host someone, i have no pb to ask my friends if they can host a nice traveller, then couchsurfing spreads around... I joined CS gatherings in Paris also, very cool times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first experience in Romania and i was astonished by the beauty and the kindness of people who hosted me. The BEST travelling experience ever =D

Interests

hum is everything too pretentious? ;D
im very curious, thats a point... but im not interested so much in sport and tv culture
Art is very important to me: we understand thanks to representation and Art can give a total different view on a subject which is supposed to be understood in a predefined way.
I love meeting people and take time to understand how they understand things better than me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alternative Electronic music, just love it, from minimal techno to trance and drum&bass (and much moooore)
Many books: novel,philosophy,sociology,media...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a community project based called Jerry Do-It-Together to help people to gather to make their own fundy computers out of reuse.
Our community is called Jerry Clan and has more than thousand contributors around the world, mostly in French speaking Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I work with startups in web communication, collaborative consumption & production,
Web brings us a wide field of experimentation i like to digg.

With Jerry, i learnt the basics to make a computer out of reuse, i will be happy to show you.

So i am always up to brainstorm & share my community & business experiences.

Open source philosophy adapted to Hardware => open hardware, the next industrial revolution
