Personal info for hub
This person is currently certified at Master level.Name: Hubert Figuière
Homepage: http://www.figuiere.net/hub/
Notes: I'm 28. I live in in Lille, France. I'm a software engineer. On my copious spare time, when I'm not doing photography or having a life, I work on Free Software projects, mostly Abiword.
Project I'm contributing to:
- Abiword developer (MacOS port, RTF import / export fixes) and various other stuff.
- gPhoto: maintaining DC240 drivers
- libcwk lead developer.
Past contributions:
- slrn contributor (couple of bug fixes).
- Dia contributed a menu bar.
- Ported xpdf to BeOS. Now passed to someone else.
Operating system knowledge includes, in alphabetical order, BeOS, FreeBSD, MacOS (X), Linux, Solaris, and a little bit of Windows even if I feel uncomfortable with.
Professionnal goal would be work for a company involved in open source projects, possibly telecommuting.

AbiwordReleased a big cross-platform patch for Toolbar handling in GUI. I also fixed Cocoa and GTK build in the mean time leaving Win32 and QNX in the limb (I don't have the skills to do it quickly without the system to test). 2.1.0 may be released after this breakage gets fixed, but there won't be any MacOS X build.
Embedded OS
Recent news about worms invading Windows embedded into ATM makes me wonder how can engineer be so irresponsible to put Windows into critical devices, given that argument is "graphical capabilities" (we could do the same with OpenSource based software, without any problem). There are actually a lot of vending machines (subway tickets in both Lille and Paris, some for railways, etc) that run Windows. Do we need a huge "catastrophe" for management to realize how they were stupid to allow that.
AbiwordFixed a weird bug due to a wild pointer casting.
Fixed some memory leaks in Mac OS X port.
Backported several patches to STABLE
AbiwordImplemented 4 new dialogs. Two on Friday, while idling during 2h40 in the train (we beat a record I think, because staying 2h40 in the train 4km from Paris is kind of these I'd prefer not to beat. Usual trip is 1h.), and Two on monday, these laters being implemented using sed (no kidding) and being one of the two latest dialog made, thanks to the fast development pace.
- Spelling
- PageNumbers
- FrameFormat
- SplitCells
AbiwordLot of stuff done:
- fixing memory leaks (including one severe in drawChars), Foundation kit exception raise.
- I also fixed serious problem in graphics due to deferred creation of graphics context: I changed all dialogs with an XAP_CocoaNSView to have the NSWindow not being deferred. Just because I start drawing before it is actually created on screen. This solve a bug where nothing was displayed at the dialog startup.
- fixed scrolling problems. Scrolling is now almost correct (minus a few cosmetic problems)
- integrated BeOS patches from a third party
Abiword on MacOS X is more usable than ever.
AbiwordWhile cleaning my $HOME a little bit, I found this screenshot made while browsing SourceForge a while back. Notice the bottom-right ad. The same people did a keyword ad on Google if you look up for either "AbiWord" or "OpenOffice". At least they consider us as a competitor. That is a sign of recognition.
Abiword is doing a great job. Yesterday one of my coworker received an MS-Word document he had to print and return by FAX/snail-mail. OpenOffice did not open it correctly. So he went with Abiword 2.0.0. Worked great. I like that, since are not really convinced about it.
Coded two more dialogs for Cocoa: password requester (for password protected documents) and goto dialog. Almost implemented rulers show/hide. Still miss some refreshing. I think I know where the problem is. I also integrated a generic image importer using Cocoa, written by Nisus (one of our competitor that makes use of Abiword as a command-line conversion tool for reading foreign file formats).
