General presentation
Hello!
My name is Jean-Baptiste Kempf and my personnal website explains more who I am and what I do.
Education
I graduated in one of the best 'Grandes Ecoles', best scientific schools and universities in France: the "Ecole Centrale Paris".
I also got a Master Degree in Computer Science from the University of Paris.
My degree "Ingénieur de l'école Centrale Paris", which is also a Master Degree.
Work
I am now a scientific attaché at the French Consulate in San Francisco.
VideoLAN
I am VideoLAN chairman.
I am working on the VideoLAN project in many aspects for about a year now and I am very much involved, but not only on the devs aspects.
As a dev, I mostly program Qt4 interface. I also work a lot on contribs and external libraries and FourCC supports. I have built VLC media player on most possible platform (no BeOS, though).
As a non-dev, I moderate e-mails, worked a lot on this wiki (almost rewritten it with User:H2g2bob), answer forums and mails, work on the websites and help on IRC. As you can imagine, I do a lot of support.
jb (at) videolan (d0t) org is my mail, related to VideoLAN. My Website (far from being finished) is my website.
Use my talk page to talk to me or give me some TODOs.
Wiki
I have rewritten a lot of pages on this wiki, and I have more than 1000 edits on this wiki.
Names
I am know under 'j-b', 'jb' on all the VideoLAN Sites
