GNOME contributions:

Summary:
Debian gnome (and related software) packaging
Telepathy hacker (mainly telepathy-salut)
Ruby GNOME bindings

Detailed description:
* Debian
  I'm part of the pkg-gnome packaging team in debian. Also i'm the
  ``leader'' of the pkg-utopia team, which packages software like 
  avahi, dbus, gnome-volume-manager and hal. Which means my main works 
  is ensuring that those technologies are properly integrated into
  debian and that GNOME in debian can and will use them out of the box.

* Telepathy
  I'm the Author of telepathy's link-local connection member called
  Salut. While telepathy isn't part of GNOME yet, we (as in the  
  telepathy people) hope it will become the standard for IM in the 
  gnome desktop. As part of this i've also contributed to the
  telepathy backend of gossip. Which has become a nice technology 
  demo for telepathy on the desktop. And obviously i'm also packaging
  Telepathy for Debian. For example gossip-telepathy has been 
  available in debian experimental for quite some time now
  
* Ruby GNOME
  I'm the maintainer of the ruby gstreamer 0.10 
  (https://trac.luon.net/ruby-gstreamer0.10) bindings and contributer 
   to ruby-gnome2 to ensure it provides a proper basis
  for ruby gstreamer. Obviously these projects allow people to write
  applications for GNOME using ruby and gstreamer.

Next to this i've done various contributions to hal,
dbus and gstreamer
