Summary:
Anjuta, Cheese

Detailed description:
I've been a regular Anjuta contributor since 2005, when I submitted some patches to fix some minor issues in 
the old 1.2 series. In 2006, I wrote Anjuta's performance profiler plugin. In 2007, I helped to improve 
Anjuta's preferences system such that it could be used on-demand rather than be created at startup to speed 
up load times. Later that year, I redesigned the Subversion plugin from the ground up, and added a number of 
features to it, including a log viewer, merging and branching capabilities, and various usability 
improvements to already existing features. In 2008, I wrote Anjuta's Git plugin, with an equivalent feature 
set to that of the Subversion plugin. In September of that year, Anjuta's maintainers awarded me direct 
commit access to the Subversion repository. Since then I have continued my role as maintainer of the 
profiler, Subversion, and Git plugins. As a developer, I also occasionally help triage bugs and give my input 
on major design decisions.

While I have spent most of my time as a GNOME contributor working on Anjuta, last April I worked on Cheese, 
specifically to give that program the ability to use different webcam resolutions when recording video. As 
part of that task, I ultimately ended up designing their preferences dialog system, basically as a way to 
easily synchronize the content of widgets in the dialog with GConf keys using a set of GObject wrapper 
classes that I created.
