Coding useless things for fun and useful tools... also for fun. Everyday.

I love open source. My contribution activity looks like a lawn that hasn't been mowed in years (which is true - I'm active on GitHub for over 10 years).

I encourage other people to join OSS as well. I speak about it at conferences: here's a presentation and its supporting blog post addressing the challenges of Open Source.

I organize Paris P2P, a large peer-to-peer and cryptography user group. Free events take place in Paris each month, and there are branches in other cities.

I maintain a few software projects, notably:

• assh: A transparent wrapper that adds regex, aliases, gateways, dynamic hostnames, graphviz, json output, yaml configuration to SSH.
• sshportal: Jump host/Jump server without the jump, a.k.a Transparent SSH bastion
• depviz: Aggregates tasks from multiple projects and generates visual representations (graphs) of the dependencies.
• protoc-gen-gotemplate: A generic code/script/data generator based on Protobuf.
• pathwar: An educational platform with a focus on security/cryptography, where you can go through challenges (courses) to learn new things and hone your skills.

And here are some more:

crossbuild, scaleway-cli, gotty-client, alfred-workflow-gauth, http2curl, docker-diff, grpcb.in, retry, number-to-words, awesome-ssh, anonuuid.

My main project right now is Berty, an encrypted distributed messenger that doesn't require internet. It's currently in development, and will be fully open-source upon release.

I enjoy coding useless stuff - and explain why in this blog post. Some examples:

Projects of the ULTREME organization.

My portrait, ULTREME-style

In particular:

• music-paint - paint-based midi controller
• pipotron -generic funny text generator
• recettator - cooking recipe generator

Some background:

• I founded Scaleway
• Teaching at School 42

Thank you for your support, it inspires me even more to keep doing OSS!
