My name is Maxime Henrion, and I'm a software developer working in France, particularly interested in open source software. I'm an active committer for the FreeBSD project, working mainly on the kernel and part of the release engineering team. I've been recently working on a rewrite of the CVSup software in C (originally written in Modula-3) called csup.
Besides my obvious interests in computer science, I'm a big fan of books from authors such as Tolkien, Isaac Asimov or Douglas Adams. I'm also a big fan of movies from Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino and Terry Gilliam, just to name a few.

Geraldine Ulmar (June 23, 1862 – August 13, 1932) was an American soprano and actress known for her performances in Savoy operas with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. In 1879, she made her debut in Boston as Josephine in Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore and soon joined the Boston Ideal Opera Company, where she remained as leading soprano for six years. From 1885 to 1886, Ulmar played Yum-Yum in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's first American production of The Mikado in New York. Over the next two years she played further Gilbert and Sullivan roles in New York, Germany and England. In London, she was the first to play the leading characters of Elsie Maynard in The Yeomen of the Guard (1888) and Gianetta in The Gondoliers (1889) before leaving D'Oyly Carte in 1890. She remained in Britain to play leading roles in other works, such as O Mimosa San in the musical comedy The Geisha. In 1904 she retired from the stage and taught singing. Ulmar was married to composer Ivan Caryll for a time. The photo shows Ulmar as Yum-Yum in New York in 1886.Poster credit: Benjamin Joseph Falk; restored by Adam Cuerden
