I'm now working full time for a UK defence company. I'm the creator of gnome-power-manager and PackageKit, and I also contribute to HAL and pm-utils. I do OSS stuff in my free time, although last year I did a summer internship for Red Hat after I finished my Masters degree in electronics. One day I'll come back to work in free software, but military electronics is where I'm at right now.
I'm now working for Red Hat in the desktop group. I'm the maintainer of gnome-power-manager, DeviceKit-power and PackageKit, and I also contribute to HAL and pm-utils.
