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

Summary:
Accessibility, WebKitGTK+, Epiphany, libsoup, frogr.

Detailed description:
Worked on improving accessibility support in WebKitGTK+ [1], focused on its interaction with the ORCA screen 
reader.

Written a few patches for libsoup and the epiphany browser, mostly because of the work done in WebKitGTK+.

Writing a small GNOME application for uploading pictures to the flickr service called 'frogr' [2], recently 
(yesterday!) integrated in the GNOME infrastructure.

As part of the development of 'frogr', I've started writing a new GNOME-ish library based on libsoup for 
interacting with the flickr API: flicksoup [3] (still in very early stage, development driven by and inside 
'frogr').

Not sure whether this could be called a 'contribution' but I've got my blog [4] added to planet GNOME in 
October 2009, where I randomly write some GNOME-related posts every now and then.

Other than that, I've been a GNOME user since 2004 and started working with GNOME technologies in 2006, 
although back then they were not as directly related to the GNOME project as ATK or WebKitGTK+ are now (and 
that's one of the reasons why I didn't apply before).

Other comments:
---------------
The idea of joining the GNOME Foundation has been present in the back of my mind since quite a long time ago 
but, because of one reason of another, I always ended up thinking that "it was not the right moment yet", 
whenever I considered it.

However, as my involvement in the GNOME project has been steadily growing during the past months, I feel now 
it could be a good moment to apply for it, hope you all think the same.

Thanks!
