| I'm a free software developer, working at the moment on [http://fuplayer.org FUPlayer], a music manager/player/ripper/burner for GNOME. My principle hobby is cycling and bike racing. My dream at the moment is to spend the next several years aggressively training and racing, because I love it and am currently approaching those peak years for a male cyclist (I'm 28 now). I could always be competitive in my age group, but I would love to be competitive ''period'' for a while, and it's now or never, as far as the ol' body goes. | ||<tablestyle="float:right; font-size: 0.9em; width:40%; background:#F1F1ED; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;" style="padding:0.5em;"><<TableOfContents()>>|| |

| Yes, the following is a shameless plug: so I need a job, but a normal 9-5'er wont work, because I need daylight hours for training, and I need to be able to take 3 or even 4 days weekends quite frequently for races. Aside from the unlikely event that I could be hired as a poet, someone to stare at the clouds while daydreaming, or a professional gypsy freeloader, my claim to professional status is that I'm a competent software engineer. I'm hoping that for the next 6 months or so anyway, I can get enough people to "sponsor" each release of FUPlayer that I can get by (well, and, probably with the help of a loan or two, get a real race bike and a time trail bike). I'd spent my days training and my evenings hacking the heck out of FUPlayer. And ''that'' would be living the dream. ;) | || {{https://launchpad.net/@@/person}} Name || Jason Gerard !DeRose || || {{https://launchpadlibrarian.net/16121192/gem-sm.png}} Location || Colorado, US || || {{https://launchpad.net/favicon.ico}} Launchpad Profile || [[https://launchpad.net/~jderose|~jderose]] || || {{https://launchpad.net/@@/language}} Email || jderose@novacut.com || || {{https://launchpad.net/@@/language}} IRC || jderose on irc.freenode.net || || {{https://launchpad.net/@@/language}} Twitter || [[http://twitter.com/#!/jgderose | @jgderose ]] || || {{https://launchpad.net/@@/language}} identi.ca || [[http://identi.ca/jgderose | @jgderose ]] || |

Novacut Vision
Ubuntu can easily become the premier platform for professional video production (e.g., movie and TV production). In addition to content-production, as Ubuntu's market share grows, it's becoming an increasingly valuable market for content-distribution. This is where the rubber meets the road, and if we play our cards right, a huge opportunity to feed additional revenue into both the free-software and free-culture ecosystems.
That's exactly what we want to accomplish with Novacut, and we're approaching the problem from both sides. We aim to:
Give creators the tools they need to create the open-source way. Free-software owes its success to more than just license... equally important are the pragmatic tools (like Bazaar and Launchpad) that have enabled us to write software faster, better, cheaper. We should strive to give free-culture every competitive advantage possible, and that's why we're developing the Novacut distributed video editor. To win, free-culture needs to be highly competitive in the market place.
- Provide the central market place that will allow Creative Commons licensed content to reach critical mass. It must be convenient for fans to find and watch CC content, and easy for fans to support the artists they love. And artists needs to make money. And Novacut needs to make money. The market place is where this will happen.

These are some IRC channels I tend to idle on:
