Hi I'm Joseph Charpak. On maemo.org I go by the rather predictable
name of jcharpak. I am running for a seat on the Maemo Council. <br>
<br>
I've been a proud owner of a 770 as well as an N800, and have
purchased a 64GB N9 in the last year when it became available and
reasonably priced in the U.S. I'm a programmer/analyst (that's just
a fancy term for what used to be called a computer programmer) <img

class="inlineimg" border="0"> My area of expertise is database
stuff, specially Oracle, sql and pl/sql, along with oracle Forms and
oracle reports, none of which is available for Nokia Mids or
smartphones (with the exception of sql in sqlite). I've dabbled in
plenty of other languages (C, C++, java, python, ada!) but am not
really fluent in any of them. I appreciate the work being done at
openrepos.net but wish we could add an N9 section to the maemo.org
autobuilder instead. Still it's good to have something as I believe
Nokia announced it is not allowing new applications to be submitted
to the Nokia Store. I like romantic dinners and long walks on the
beach...just kidding I hate long walks on the beach. It's either
really sandy or really rocky not to mention the whole walking part.
I'd much rather stay at home, reading all sorts of technical blogs
and dreaming of one day building a "trek" style game written in
python and qml. I'm a big proponent of open source, else why would I
be here? Please consider voting for me on the Maemo Council.<br>
