Hi list,
I've just become a member of the Foundation. I received a welcome
email encouraging me to introduce myself to this list.
So: hello! First of all I'm happy to be a member.
My last name is pronounced as if it started with the letter K. I can
be said to be from several different places but I live in Vancouver,
BC, Canada. On IRC I can sometimes be found lurking under the nickname
"ptomato". Using that name I also answer questions on Stack Overflow
about GTK and Autotools. I usually sign myself "Philip C" on GNOME
mailing lists to avoid confusion with the many other Phil(l)ip(p(e))s.
It's 10 years ago this month that I started writing code using GTK and
the GNOME stack, in my "copious" spare time while in grad school for
experimental physics. Not until several years after that did I
actually make contributions to GNOME. I started out by fixing a bug
here and there, wandered from there into documentation reviews, and
tried to participate remotely in hackfests from time to time. When I
started working for Endless I started writing more substantial
features, primarily for GJS so far. My first in-person hackfest was
this June's GTK hackfest in Toronto, where I started some GTK patches
that I still need to find time to finish :-)
I've also written a few tools that other GNOME contributors may find
useful:
https://github.com/ptomato/jasmine-gjs - Port of the Jasmine test
framework to GJS that integrates nicely with Autotools
https://github.com/ptomato/osxcart - Library for interfacing between
GNOME and file formats commonly used in Mac OSX such as plist and RTF(D)
I look forward to seeing some of you at GUADEC in a few weeks.
Regards,
Philip C
