Current interest topics
- Distant learning laboratories : how to use virtualization,
containers or cloud tools to devise laboratories for teaching in
MOOCs, for instance. In this context I've worked on :
- different virtual labs in the context of the FLIRT project (see below)
- a Vagrant-based virtual lab environment for a Relational Database MOOC (more details, in french);
Other / past interest
- Quality assurance process at large scale in the FLOSS communities : how to provide developers and maintainers, packagers and other actors with interoperability solutions in order to improve quality, response time, monitoring facilities, etc.
Other more general or past topics, keywords, and research interests :
- Interoperability and standardization
- Semantic Web and Linked data
- Libre Software production, distribution and maintenance (distributed development, software forges, bugtrackers, packaging, etc.)
- Virtualization and Cloud
Contracts / projects to which I'm participating
- FLIRT project (TBD)
