GNOME contributions:
--------------------

Summary:
API bindings, steering development to GNOME technologies, API documentation, developing of Mono libraries to 
use in the Gnome stack.

Detailed description:
As a manager at Novell, most of my work is coordinating a team whose goals is to improve the developer 
experience for Unix users and to extend the reach of the Mono, Unix and Gtk+ APIs across multiple platforms.  
  

Part of my team's effort is to bind Gnome APIs, starting from Gtk+ going up to higher level APIs to access 
them from C# and any other Mono-powered languages as well as providing the tools necessary to use them.

My team is in charge of building the Gtk+ based MonoDevelop IDE that can be used to create both desktop and 
server applications with support for C#, Vala and Python (although we only contribute directly to the C# 
component of it).   My team also maintains the Mono bindings for Gtk+, the documentation for it, and the 
distribution of Mono with Gtk+ on OSX and Windows. 

Additionally, I am involved in ensuring our continued investment on the Linux and Gnome desktops at Novell. 

As for my personal contributions that go beyond what the team that I steer does:

* Documentation:

Maintain parts of the Gtk# documentation to use with C# and other Mono languages. 

* Steering development to Gnome Technologies

Package, distribute, document and distribute the Gnome development stack as part of Mono on OSX and Windows 
to give the Gtk+ stack a larger user base.
