GNOME contributions:
--------------------

Summary:
small patches in many modules including upstream software such as hal and xorg

a few more patches in gnome-vfs

lots more patches in gnome-applets

Detailed description:
If I find a bug with a piece of software on my system I do my best to try and track it down and get it fixed 
(either reporting it or often writing a patch for myself).  As a result of this, I probably have small 
patches in about 20 modules.

I used to develop on Rhythmbox and gnome-vfs but I am not presently very involved in either of these projects 
(although I hope to get more involved in gnome-vfs for the 2.14 cycle).

I've a very active contributor to gnome-applets (and have even executed the release of the last two 
versions).  I have written an awful lot of the code in the battstat applet and have fixed a lot of bugs 
related to this (for example, in the upstream HAL that battstat now gets battery information from).

Contacts:
Davyd Madeley <davyd madeley id au> (gnome-applets maintainer)
