| 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. ;) | I wrote [https://launchpad.net/products/kungfu KungFu], a GStreamer-based DVD ripper.

| http://jasonderose.org/tucson.jpg | While working on Kung Fu, I discovered [https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-ugly0.10/+bug/71017 a nasty seek bug] in the GStreamer dvdreadsrc element, for which I have submitted a patch. After working on dvdreadsrc quite a bit, I decided that it was really a big crufty mess, so I've started a rewrite from scratch, which I'm calling ''dvdsrc''.

| 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. | My new dvdsrc element in now mostly usable as a drop-in replacement for dvdreadsrc. As far as I can tell, it makes a lot of sense to combine the dvdreadsrc and dvdnavsrc functionality into a single element, so my plan is to add Nav support to dvdsrc. I'm really hoping to have this finished in time to be included in Feisty, so that full DVD support will finally be available under gstreamer0.10. I could certainly use help on this if anyone is interested!
