Interview
How and when did you get involved in GNOME?
I have been a GNOME user for many years now and probably really got more involved in GNOME advocacy just a couple years ago shortly before I created Foresight. I realized there was some very interesting work being done on desktop tools, but they were hard to integrate into existing distros. There just wasn’t an easy way for users to see what was on the horizon and how great Linux on the desktop was becoming. So I created Foresight in 2005 to showcase some of these technologies that I thought were going to make a big impact. Things like Beagle, Howl (replaced by Avahi since), Mono, etc.
