New GNOME blogger around!

All right, here’s a new face on Planet GNOME!

If we haven’t met at the last GUADEC, a short introduction of what I have been doing lately:

This year, I am part of Google‘s Summer of Code program, working for OLPC on GTK/display/theme business. I’m also spending a lot of my time making GTK themes suffer. Hin, hin. I’ll make a small post about this very soon (see my previous posts if you just can’t wait). And I’m absolutely thrilled to have Federico as my mentor. Yeah!

Last summer, ahem, well, I was also part of Google‘s Summer of Code program. Wait a minute, who just said “spoiled”? I was fairly selected among thousands of participants, mister! Twice. Next year I’m going to open source my automatic project proposal generator, hin, hin. So last year I worked for Ubuntu, with Sébastien Bacher as my mentor (another yeah!), making things like this (that’s the first version, I tweaked it a little since):

Add to panel dialog

I think the only thing that got upstream from last summer was this (panel separator):

I also made Ubuntu’s controversial logout dialog (well, I did design it, but I didn’t make the decision! So don’t yell at me just yet). More info about what I did for Ubuntu here.
I also made a bit of marketing with the whylinuxisbetter.net website, which looks like this:

If you want to know more about what I do apart from ruin other people’s code, steal money from Google or design brownish websites, you can have a look at my home page (watch out, lots of red there! Well, I did warn you). More blogging (with real bits of interesting things in the posts, this time) soon! Comments open!
