SimonSteinbeiss
Who am I?
I'm Simon Steinbeiss (surprise surprise!). I studied Philosophy and Religios Studies (not Theology!). The computery-stuff (as I like to call it) has always been a hobby, but I didn't get further than basic PHP, Perl and MySQL skills, that's why I mostly focus on contributing artwork.
My work
Ubuntu
- Started helping out with Xubuntu stuff (creating comprehensive application comparisons etc.) for 9.10
- Inofficially joined the Xubuntu developers creating artwork (10.04, 10.10, 11.04), main focus on gtk/xfwm-themes and icons
Created two gtk-themes for Xubuntu, Bluebird (10.10) and Greybird (11.04)
Non-Ubuntu
I've always been passionate about Xfce, so I started trying to contribute upstream, e.g. by starting up initiatives like the Design SIG. I also love gmusicbrowser, where I contribute (plugins, artwork, layouts) from time to time - even more so now that it's the default player in Xubuntu. After the Karmic cycle I joined Shimmer Project, which is my main focus now.
