Summary:
Co-initiator of the Zeitgeist project: http://zeitgeist-project.com/

Detailed description:
When Seif Lotfy saw Federico's Journal Mockups from the GNOME 2008 Boston Hackfest, he felt remembered of my 
PhD project and contacted me. Ever since, weâve been working together on Zeitgeist and the related UI 
projects. Seif and all the other gorgeous Zeitgeist team members made me become an open-source and GNOME 
enthusiast. Not to mention the experience of participating in GUADEC/GCDS 2009. 

As I am writing up my PhD, I didnât contribute much in coding yet, but rather shared my experience from 
building an event-logging framework and related user interfaces (ContextDrive & ReflAction Journal). As a 
researcher in computer science with a focus on UX, I helped designing the (GNOME) Activity Journal, but also 
helped Seif designing the first versions of the Zeitgeist engine. I mentor his studies at the Darmstadt 
Technical University, which currently includes a project report about Zeitgeist and his Zeitgeist-related 
bachelor thesis. I am the Zeitgeist teamâs research backup and link to academia. Finally, I applied to be a 
GNOME GSoC mentor for Zeitgeist-related projects. My new blog is at http://reflaction.info/.
