Re: [gnome.org #12681] Your GNOME Foundation Membership: we need some more information

["Ian McIntosh via RT" <membership-applications gnome org>]

Hi there,

You requested information on my recent contributions to the GNOME platform.

Does developing software for the GNOME platform count?

I continue to develop several applications on the GNOME platform.

For example, I wrote and maintain GNOME ScreenRuler.  GNOME
ScreenRuler was packaged for Debian by GNOME Foundation member
Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals.

I recently managed a translation effort for ScreenRuler:

http://gnomecoder.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/screenruler-and-studly-translators-french-spanish-brazilian-portuguese-german-czech-serbian-needed/

My biggest contribution to the platform is Luz, an open-source live
motion-graphics application written using Gtk, which has been in
active development for the past 6 years.  It's quite a mature project.
 I've given two SIGGRAPH presentations on Luz.

I recently created and ran a 4 month seminar in which children used
GNOME, GIMP and Luz to create a digital puppet play, and here is the
result:

Several of these children now have GNOME on their home computers as a
direct result of this.

You can see my code contributions to Luz here, over 2,000 of them:

Are you looking for people who can vouch for my character or my
contributions?  I've asked two people who are familiar with my work,
though I haven't heard back from them yet.

I spend about 2 hours a day working on FOSS, all of it using Gtk for
the GNOME platform.  I hope that the BZR history and debian
screenruler package details demonstrate the work I've done.
