Write your contributions here. === Real-time multimedia communications and VoIP ===

I have been actively working to enable real-time communications (VoIP, video and IM) using free software. Making such free solutions as easy to deploy as possible, by packaging them for the major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, [[http://www.debian.org|Debian]] and [[http://www.fedoraproject.org|Fedora]].

 * As an upstream developer, I have put significant effort in to making [[http://www.resiprocate.org|reSIProcate]] suitable for packaging in Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, including a complete overhaul of the build system (it now uses autotools) [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resiprocate|reSIProcate on launchpad]]
 * Documenting how real-time multimedia communications can be implemented on major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, on the [[http://www.rtcquickstart.org|Real-time communications (RTC) quick start guide]]
 * I have updated [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VoIP|VoIP]] information on the Ubuntu wiki to integrate with the current state of these projects

=== Financial software ===

Much of my professional experience is in financial services, with a focus on front office trading and connectivity solutions.

I have been active in packaging some of the leading open source financial software products, including:

 * [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openmama|OpenMAMA]], the real-time messaging and market price data distribution system open-sourced by [[http://www.nyse.com|NYSE]]
 * [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postbooks|PostBooks]], a comprehensive small business accounting, CRM and ERP solution with a multi-user Qt-based GUI, using PostgreSQL as the backend

=== Other projects ===

Please see [[http://danielpocock.com/open-source-software-projects|this page]] for a more detailed overview of the free software projects I contribute to across a range of platforms, including [[http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=daniel@pocock.com.au|Debian]] and [[https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/pocock|Fedora]]

I acknowledge that most of my free software contributions are not exclusive to Ubuntu. In the world of real-time communications software, the most important thing is to enable interoperability between platforms and I have been particularly dedicated to making sure that these solutions work on Ubuntu just as well as any other major platform I support.

Write your goals. Improving interoperability of real-time communications software on all the major Linux distributions.

Making [[http://www.webrtc.org|WebRTC]] work successfully on Linux, both on servers and desktops. For example, extending the [[http://www.drucall.org|DruCall]] module for Drupal and making it fully installable with '''apt-get'''.
