I attended the UDS 2008 and worked closely with the UX team to fix some major problems in GNOME Zeitgeist. I also held a talk at GCDS 2009 and presented Zeitgeist at the [[http://openworldforum.org/program/envisioning-the-open-desktop-of-the-future|Open World Forum]]. I will be attending the next UDS to discuss topics excluding Upstream such as Marketing FLOSS in the Middle East.

My name is Seif Lotfy and I have been using Ubuntu full-time since November 2004. I started contributing to Gimmie 2 years ago until its maintainer decided to cease development. I am actively involved in Mayanna. October 2008 I became a GNOME foundation member and started/founded the GNOME Zeitgeist Project, which I am currently democratically driving and managing.

Contributions to the Ubuntu Community

I have been actively participating on the Ubuntu forums since 2006. I am also one of the oldest members of the Egyptian loco team. My main contribution to Ubuntu would be mainly via Zeitgeist and GNOME Activity Journal (GNOME Zeitgeist), focusing on delivering their experience primarily on Ubuntu systems (since this is what I am running :P) and hosting both projects on launchpad. Also I have been working Organise FW to provide the Ubuntu Desktop a semantic desktop touch.

Hopefully in the future I can get more involved with the DX team in getting Zeitgeist deployed on KDE too, as well as use technologies supported by Ubuntu to provide a unique desktop experience.

  • Seif is an influential and essential member of the Ubuntu community, and a significant driving force behind many of the innovations that will arrive on the Linux desktop over the next few years. Seif is patient, humble, driven, a talented engineer, and he knows how to complement his skills by seeking the talents of others. What a great guy to work with! -- DavidSiegel 2009-10-05 14:01:30

  • Seif is unique in his enthusiasm for simplifying the desktop experience for all users. His work on Zeitgeist is an excellent example of this: Letting users get to where they want to go as fast and as intuitively as possible. Ubuntu will be better off with his contributions through code and ideas. -- njpatel 2009-10-06 22:15:13
