Summary:
GNOME Journal, Abiword

Detailed description:
I conceptualized and created the GNOME Journal online magazine devoted to content exclusively surrounding 
GNOME and it's community. I am Editor 'n Chief of the GNOME Journal. I also submitted a couple of patches to 
Abiword.

Contacts:
Davyd Madeley (davyd madeley id au) - David has been a regular contributor to the GNOME Journal and can speak 
for my role in that. Sriram Ramkrishna (sriram ramkrishna gmail com) will also speak for my role in the GNOME 
Journal. I also originally helped Sri out by co-leading the publishment of the GNOME Summary which has now 
morphed into the GNOME Journal.

Other comments:
---------------
I intend to start contributing more in the area of code patches to the core GNOME desktop. GNOME has been 
very good to me over the years serving as a failful and trusty desktop and I would like to not only 
contribute back, but also refine my coding skills by contributing code to GNOME.
