Summary:
developer: achtung, gnome-canvas, Ximian/Novell desktop, Red Carpet, HAL, D-Bus, netapplet, contributions to 
many modules including Nautilus, Bonobo, and GTK+, Project Utopia, maintainer of Beagle.

Detailed description:
I was one of the developers of the Achtung presentation program in 1999.  I contributed the rich text canvas 
item to gnome-canvas around the same time.  I was one of the two original developers of Ximian Desktop in 
2000, and still work on GNOME-related technologies today for Novell.  I was one of the original developers of 
HAL, which is used heavily today by GNOME.  I was an early contributor to D-Bus.  One of the two original 
developers on the netapplet tool, for selecting wireless networks.  Lots of bug fixes, etc. on various 
modules, largely as a result of my work on the desktop team at Novell.  Started Project Utopia, an effort to 
improve integration of desktop software with hardware (as a result, CUPS-desktop interaction, NetworkManager, 
gnome-power-manager, gnome-volume-manager, etc.).  Today I am the lead developer and maintainer of Beagle, 
which has integration in GNOME programs like Nautilus, Yelp, and Deskbar.
