Summary:
"Debian GNOME packaging, desktop integration with the installer (gnome and others desktop tasks), GNOME on 
Debian talks"

Detailed description:
Debian GNOME packaging:
I've been contributing to the Debian's GNOME team (pkg-gnome) being the primary alacarte, desktop-base and 
gnome-sudoku (recently merged into gnome-games) maintainer, with patches to others packages (eg: nautilus) 
that were forwarded to be merged upstream (GNOME). Also sponsored uploads for others GNOME maintainers.

Desktop Integration With the Installer:
I'm co-maintaining the piece of software (tasksel) that is used by the debian-installer to install the set of 
packages that make the default Debian desktop environment (GNOME + some packages). I've also managed to glue 
the multiple Debian desktop initiatives in only one around the debian-desktop mailing list, keeping GNOME as 
the default selection for Etch (also confirmed for Lenny - Etch+1)

GNOME on Debian talks:
I did some talks about Debian Desktop Etch where GNOME is the default (as cited above), with one more 
scheduled for the next month.

Guilherme Pastore (gpastore AT gnome.org) (accounts team and more)
