=== Accomplishments ===
Created gmpc-plugins package in gmpc-trunk [[ppa|https://launchpad.net/~gmpc-trunk/+archive/ppa]]. The original one created by debian was pretty simple and installed a small bundle of plugins. The change I made is to allow the creation of individual packages for each individual plugin as well as a coresponding debug version. This allows users to pick and choose which plugins to use, without being forced to download and install a bunch of unwanted plugins. Also, to make it easier for users who wish to install all the plugins, I made a gmpc-plugins and gmpc-plugins-dbg metapackages to install all the plugins in one go.


I've succesfully packaged the gtrayicon package and got it into debian sid. Gtrayicon is a program to allow the easy creation of a enable/disable system tray icon. It also allows users to create a simple menu config to turn it into a customized application launching menu. GetDeb made a version of this a while ago, but it wasn't up to standards and couldn't be included in any distribution. My version does and has been accepted into debian. From there it can be easily synced into Ubuntu.


Another package I've made is the libcue package. As far as I can tell, I'm first and only person to have attempted to package this program. It's a libray to easily read and parse cuesheets. It's used by the latest mpd 0.15 to read embedded cuesheets in flac files. As of the time this is written, the package is currently in the debian NEW queue.

I'm currently unemployed and hoping I can get a job working and promoting Linux. Projects that I'm working on in the mean time is maintaining the GMPC Trunk team, where I provide updated packages of mpd and gmpc, my preferred linux music player combo. https://launchpad.net/~gmpc-trunk

Also, I've setup a PPA devoted to making it easier to install CoreAVC into Ubuntu. I've prebuilt the coreavc-for-linux project's dshowserver and added a dshowserver patched mplayer into the PPA (courtesy of rvm). https://launchpad.net/~ripps818/+archive/coreavc

My main PPA is mostly devoted to several programs that I like that aren't provided by Ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/~ripps818/+archive/ppa
