About

I’m interested in several kinds of mathematics and free software. Often in an interplay between them. Most of the free software with which I like to directly contribute is mathematical. I’m involved with GNU Octave and Debian, which has been the only operating system I regularly use since 2001.

You may contact me at my email: jordigh@octave.org

Here are some scattered patches I’ve contributed here and there:

• Debian packaging
• Octave patches
• An Octave lexer for Python’s Pygments
• A few patches for TortoiseHg, a Mercurial front-end

I used to keep my public code in Bitbucket, but I’m currently looking for another host. Most of my public code nowadays is in the Octave repository.

On a more personal level, I’m Mexican, currently residing in Montréal. I like walking a lot (I don’t drive, although I did take lessons for a week, so at least I know how a car works in theory). I like reading good novels, and I enjoy knitting. I’m of course native in Spanish, but also in English, if you can believe that a person can have more than one native language. I really love languages, and I keep wishing I could learn more.

Oh, and I look like this:
