Hi everyone, I wish to request for Core Contributor status for the OpenSolaris Desktop Community. I've many years of involvement with the GNOME community through my work on the Solaris and OpenSolaris desktops. Some of my more recent contributions to the OpenSolaris desktop include:
- Time Slider automatic backup mechanism. Worked with Tim Foster to enhance zfs-auto-snapshot for desktop use. Designed and implemented SMF service management, configuration UI, snapshot management and cleanup mechanisms and user notification mechanism. - Caiman Installer: Lead engineer for the OpenSolaris installer GUI (Caiman). - Trusted GNOME/JDS desktop for Solaris/OpenSolaris Trusted extensions. Designed and implemented trusted extension functionality for multi-label aware desktop and window management via. libwnck, role assumption and password management in trusted stripe and overall architectural design of GNOME for Trusted Extensions - miscellaneous bug fixes, branding, packaging activites on GNOME desktop components such as nautilus, gnome-vfs, GDM, gnome-session etc. Still got lots of ongoing work and involvement ahead of me on the desktop.
