Udesh has strong knowledge of programming and a determined attitude.
He is not afraid to ask questions nor undertaking hard (anyone who has
looked at Last.fm in Banshee would know it is under loved and a source
of many complaints, yet it is were he elected to start contributing)
and even thankless tasks (such as documenting our code).
I know from talking with him and guiding him through the wonderful
world of Banshee that Udesh is eager to contribute not just now but in
the future and to embrace the GNOME ecosystem fully In the time we
have had the pleasure of working with him in the Banshee project I
have found him to be a joy to be around, always willing to look at a
problem or give an opinion. He is still young in GNOME, but the amount
of dedication I have seen from him leaves me no doubt he will rise to
be one of our great contributors.

It is my joy and privilege to vouch for his skills and his commitment to GNOME.

- David
