Summary:
Telepathy, D-Bus hacking, Gaim hacking, Debian packaging

Detailed description:
I was one of the founders of the Telepathy project to build a real-time communications framework 18 months ago, and have been the lead developer/architect since then. Telepathy is being integrated into GNOME initially in Gossip, and I've been helping with this effort with advice, bug fixing and implementing required features in the Telepathy framework.

I'm an upstream developer of D-Bus and have worked heavily on the Python bindings and also made improvements to the GLib bindings.

Several years ago I spent a lot of time making improvements to Gaim, particularly to improve GNOME integration with Gtk 2 porting, improved sound support, implementing the tray icon, and rudimentary session management so it would be started automatically. At the time I was also the Debian maintainer for Gaim, and am still a member of the Debian GNOME team.
