I spent the last few years implementing the touch stack in Ubuntu and am currently leading a technical squad developing the Unity shell.

I am also involved with the Debian project packaging games, and the GCC project, particularly the C++ standard library implementation (random number generators and regular expressions).
Line 20: Line 26:
I work on the uTouch multi-touch and gesture stack, a part of the desktop experience team. I designed and implemented the GEIS API. From time to time, on those rare occasions when I have a few moment free, I also triage and fix other packages in Ubuntu.

I am active in the Debian Games Team, maintaining or co-maintaining a number of games packages, triaging bugs, pushing fixes upstream, packaging new games, and helping others with packaging problems.

In a previous life I contributed major portions of the unit test suite for the C++ standard library that ships with GCC (libstdc++-v3) as well as significant portions of the TR1 random number library and the regular expression library portions of libstdc++v3.		 I participate the Canada Loco and in the MOTU efforts. I am a Ubuntu member, and visit the forums from time to time.

About Me

Fantasy Picture

I have been developing on Unix systems since the early 1980s, and on Linux specifically since 1995. I started with and used Slackware until 2003, when I was hired by Xandros (another Linux distribution) to develop security, automated package deployment, and server software, followed by ARM development work on embedded Linux systems.

I spent the last few years implementing the touch stack in Ubuntu and am currently leading a technical squad developing the Unity shell.

I am also involved with the Debian project packaging games, and the GCC project, particularly the C++ standard library implementation (random number generators and regular expressions).

Contributions

I participate the Canada Loco and in the MOTU efforts. I am a Ubuntu member, and visit the forums from time to time.

Future Goals

  • maintaining and expanding the Unity shell in Ubuntu
  • maintaining and expanding games available in Debian and Ubuntu

  • getting a full impementation of <regex> into GCC's libstdc++

  • become a MOTU

I also occasionally work in audio software (eg. rosegarden).
