Contributions

I am not a packager. I see myself as an upstream KDE developer with a strong interest in helping Kubuntu to succeed. As such almost all my contributions are either upstream KDE SC development or independent KDE applications.

Personal

  • Developer of Gwenview, a KDE image viewer

  • Developer of Colibri, passive notifications for KDE (kde-apps page)

  • Often tries to polish the user interface of KDE applications (last work so far, Get Hot New Stuff)

Professional

  • 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 (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 Smile :)
