Hi, I'm a Ruby developer working commercially with web applications in Dublin. I think that Ireland has great potential to be a high profile Open Source location and would like to see more FOSS development getting done in Ireland. Ubuntu is an important part of this as

  1. It's a great development platform
  2. Has a great community focus which will help get developers interested; who may not otherwise see merit in patching FOSS projects

If you're interested in joining the Open Source scene in Ireland as a developer, I'd be interested to hear from you at my contact details below.

My FOSS and Ubuntu contributions to date include

  • Running Free Ruby Lessons for newbie developers
  • Code contributions to f-spot, freemix, bzr (pending approval by bzr patch manager)
  • Bug reports on update-manager, mysql, mono-debugger

  • Podcasting on Open Source development at http://www.codemongrel.com

  • Blogging on Open Source development at http://www.theirishpenguin.com

  • Attending and helping out at FOSS events in Dublin

In development terms outside of Ruby, I also like to hack on Ubuntu desktop apps and enjoy Python development along with the odd bit of Mono C#.
