Franz Robert

EU - France

My name is Franz Robert. I am 46, married and father of five children. I live in the french alps near the Italian border. Born in 1961 in Paris. Studies and jobs in Paris to 1990 then moved to the Alps and fresh air. Bachelor in sciences ; Medicine ; Physic ; Master in software engineering. I began my PC career with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum programming both in Basic and Hexa. Today I'm some kind of a Dr House - look, bike, bad spirit and way of live - but not such intelligent I think and fortunately engaged.

I am software engineer and system's analyst for 20 years. I am also journalist (sports - computer technologies). I joined the Unix programmers community in 1984 with SCO systems. I am found of the Linux project(s) since the beginning. I work with Linux and Fedora since Core 2 release both on (Web) server and desktop configurations. I took part in several open source projects and believe in the Fedora Project main philosophy: the freedom of build a software commons for all.
