Before Xubuntu, I worked with user support and the '''Rokymotion''' marketing team in the [[http://amarok.kde.org/|Amarok]] project for about two years from 2006 to 2008. In 2010, I founded the [[http://shimmerproject.org|Shimmer Project]] with ''Steve Dodier''. The Shimmer Project kept on contributing artwork for Xubuntu, but spread to help other projects too. These projects include the '''Albatross''' and '''Bluebird''' desktop suites, the "Shimmer" layout, extension and modification for [[http://gmusicbrowser.org/|gmusicbrowser]] as well as some [[http://wordpress.org/|WordPress]] plugins and themes not completely publicly released yet. === Outside Ubuntu ===
