Contributions Summary:
Hi

I am mainly a kernel and low-level user-space developer. I contribute to a lot of projects that are part of 
the underlying base of any Gnome system running on linux. I am fool if it comes to GUI development, so I 
haven't been involved much in any official gnome projects. However, I still consider myself a contributor to 
the Gnome project and would appreciate it to be a member of the Gnome foundation.

The open-source work I have done so far and still work on, includes:
 * Developing and maintaining the Bluetooth HID implementation (HIDP)
 * Kernel input and HID subsystem contributor
 * Linux Wii-Remote driver maintainer (xwiimote)
 * DRM/KMS kernel contributor
 * Author of the DRM render-nodes interface
 * Founder of the KMSCON project that provides a system-console in user-space
 * Founder of the MiracleCast project providing Miracast (display-streaming) on linux
 * systemd-logind developer

Apart from these projects, I work on systemd-logind to provide a device-management API for graphical 
compositors to run unprivileged. I work closely with Jasper St. Pierre to get this into gnome-shell. The last 
few years I have been involved in improving the input and graphics kernel APIs for graphical compositors.

Below a short collection of links to projects of mine and git-commits in other relevant projects:
