Re: [gnome.org #14257] Application received from Pierre-Yves Luyten (py AT luyten.fr)

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. Seems email is the proper way to provide you 
these information.

"Bijiben", or Notes as of today, is clearly my main contribution. Due to 
help of Cosimo Ceccchi and Debarshi Ray, it was integrated as a module 
at release 3.8
(https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/more-apps.html)
For example, it is the default note editor into Fedora when GNOME is 
installed. But it should be the same with other distributions.

I'm the only maintainer for now, but some contributors have raised like 
Bastien Nocera, Yosef Or Boczko. Allan is often helping me with bugs 
reports related to design.
A student did apply to Google summer of code and I will mentor him - 
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2014/chunyang/5649050225344512
(Actually mentoring him might be my biggest contribution next months)

So part of my motivation is due to the fact i'm maintaining Notes from 
more than a year, and part is due to this summer of code.
I will come to GUADEC a week end. Also, Allan Day suggested me to inlude 
my blog into Planet Gnome.


Of course, there is also the "invisible" work, ie, telling people around 
me about GNOME and answering questions. But it's not really the point =)

Best whishes,
Pierre-Yves
