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
