Other comments:
---------------
Recently helped organize the Gnome "booth" at the Linux Demo Day in Helsinki, Finland. 
(http://www.mpoli.fi/flug/ldd2002/, pictures at http://gnome-fi.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/kuvat.cgi).
Due to the scandinavian character Å in my name, the spelling may vary between instances, I have sometimes 
been credited as Jan Akerblom, Janne Akerblom, or Janne Åkerblom. I have alternate email addresses, including 
(but not limited to) <jou sci fi>, <jaker users sourceforge net>.
 I am currently reading GTK+ and hope to one day contribute by releasing a Gnome-biased program of my own, or 
by contributing to an existing project.
