| I'm a free software developer, working at the moment on [http://fuplayer.org FUPlayer], a music manager/player/ripper/burner for GNOME. My principle hobby is cycling and bike racing. My dream at the moment is to spend the next several years aggressively training and racing, because I love it and am currently approaching those peak years for a male cyclist (I'm 28 now). I could always be competitive in my age group, but I would love to be competitive ''period'' for a while, and it's now or never, as far as the ol' body goes. | I am a software engineer, a free software developer, an avid cyclist, sometimes a mechanical engineer, and always a goof ball. |

| Yes, the following is a shameless plug: so I need a job, but a normal 9-5'er wont work, because I need daylight hours for training, and I need to be able to take 3 or even 4 days weekends quite frequently for races. Aside from the unlikely event that I could be hired as a poet, someone to stare at the clouds while daydreaming, or a professional gypsy freeloader, my claim to professional status is that I'm a competent software engineer. I'm hoping that for the next 6 months or so anyway, I can get enough people to "sponsor" each release of FUPlayer that I can get by (well, and, probably with the help of a loan or two, get a real race bike and a time trail bike). I'd spent my days training and my evenings hacking the heck out of FUPlayer. And ''that'' would be living the dream. ;) | '''[https://launchpad.net/people/jderose My Lanchpad profile]''' |

| This is me after the 109 mile El Tour De Tucson race: I finished in the top 13% after only being back on the bike for 6 months, and only training with real diligence for about 3 months. | DynamicAudioRateSpec, RestrictedFormats, ["MOTU"], ["MOTU/Hopeful/Recruitment"], MacBookSingleBoot |

My contributions to Ubuntu
Aside from general advocacy, I have packaged software that I have written for Ubuntu (Kung Fu and FUPlayer), filed bug reports, submitted patches for at least one of them, done some wiki editing, and utilized Launchpad for bug tracking, version control, and translation.
In general most of my work has been upstream; however, I wish to use my upstream experience, particularly with GStreamer, to help make Ubuntu even better.
My plans and ideas for Ubuntu in the near and far future
Multimedia issues are the big on my radar right now. My #1 priority is full DVD support under gstreamer0.10, hopefully in time to be included in Feisty, by way of [https://launchpad.net/people/jderose/+branch/kungfu/dvdsrc my new dvdsrc element]. My #2 priority is an audio server that doesn't run at a fixed sample rate (Esd currently runs at a fixed 44100 sample rate), which I've started to outline in my DynamicAudioRateSpec.
More about myself...
I also am currently seeking employment as a software engineer, preferably working with free software technologies, preferably in the San Francisco area or in San Diego.
