  * Developer of Colibri, passive notifications for KDE ([[http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Colibri?content=117147|kde-apps page]])
  * Often tries to polish the user interface of KDE applications (last work so far, [[http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/3986/|Get Hot New Stuff]])

  * Implemented Message Indicator support for KDE
  * Ported a few KDE applications to KStatusNotifierItem, KDE new systemtray protocol
  * Created dbusmenu-qt, used by KStatusNotifierItems|!AppIndicators to present their menus on DBus, ensuring consistent menu rendering on GNOME and KDE
  * Currently working on a global menubar based on dbusmenu ([[http://agateau.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/getting-menus-out-of-application-windows/|Article on my blog about it]])

== Plans for Kubuntu ==

  * Get more involved in the development of Kubuntu specific tools. Not necessarily creating new ones myself ; rather helping out existing development by answering Qt/KDE development questions and polishing user interfaces.
  * Improve Kubuntu default configuration to ensure out-of-the-box-awesomeness :)
