- Bio: Vincent Untz is an active Free Software enthusiast, GNOME lover and advocate. He currently is GNOME Release Manager and a director of the GNOME Foundation. Rumours say Vincent started contributing by triaging bugs for the GNOME Bugsquad, before becoming maintainer of various GNOME modules. However, he finds it's simpler to declare he is a "touche-à-tout", working on various (some say random) areas of the desktop. Vincent is still pushing French as official language for GNOME, and hopes to succeed really soon now.
