I co-founded [[Hackuarium]] with [[User:luchenry|Luc Henry]] in February 2014. We met Carmelo and his boss, and made [[UniverCité]] the home for this project in May 2014, being the first pioneers to become residents. The association itself was created in Aug. 2014. Which means we still are a really young community doing mistakes (young) communities do. Luc is since the beginning of the association the President of Hackuarium, and I serve as Vice-President. Our other [http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/index.php?title=Board Board members and their current responsibilities should be listed here at some point].<br>

== Why I love Hackuarium ==
 
Hackuarium is part of the environment I always wanted to work and learn new stuff in.<br>
 
[[UniverCité]] is the kind of community I dreamed for years to co-found, and did my homework to be ready for an opportunity.<br>
 
Then I met Luc, then Carmelo. Now you are all here with us, and I am so glad.
 
 
 
== How to contact me ==
 
1. '''Use [[Slack]] more ;) It is by far the easiest and most effective way to contact me for everything Hackuarium related''', ensuring yourself a quick, happy, brilliant and witty answer.<br>
 
2. You can also email me using '''yann point heurtaux chez hackuarium point ch''' if need be:<br>
 
* '''If you are a journalist''' (but please read our [[Press kit]] before doing so, we will both save a lot of useful time).
 
* If Slack is down

My main project is to make sure that everybody in and around Hackuarium and UniverCité knows we are doing such great stuff they should have been part of it yesterday.<br>
 
I'm working on our editorial coherence for special [[Open Hackuarium]] nights, try to publish more than once a year our newsletter, and will harass you to death to fill in this wiki.<br>
