Hi, I'm a Ruby developer working commercially with web applications in Dublin. I think that Ireland has great potential to be a high profile Open Source location and would like to see more FOSS development getting done in Ireland. Ubuntu is an important part of this as
- It's a great development platform
- Has a great community focus which will help get developers interested; especially those who may not otherwise see merit in patching FOSS projects
If you're interested in joining the Open Source scene in Ireland as a developer, I'd be interested to hear from you at my contact details below.

Acitivities
Code contributions to f-spot, freemix, bzr (bzr contrib in progress after review with bzr patch manager)
Working on Qt on Rails a Rails-based development framework to simplify development of Ruby applications on Kubuntu
Regularly featuring (K)ubuntu issues I've troubleshooted on my blog at theirishpenguin.com
Contributing articles to 3rd party FOSS knowledge bases such as on KDE Techbase
- Bug reports on update-manager, mysql, mono-debugger
- Running Free Ruby Lessons for newbie developers (Monday at 6.30pm in Havana Cafe, Georges St, Dublin)
Podcasting on Open Source development at codemongrel.com
- Attending and helping out at FOSS events, code jams and meetups in Dublin
In development terms outside of Ruby, I also like to hack on Ubuntu desktop apps and enjoy Python development along with the odd bit of Mono C#.
Future Goals
- Run and participate in more Ubuntu Bugjams, be a point of contact for FOSS and Ubuntu development in Ireland
Help encourage discussion between various Open Source development communities in Ireland. To this end, I've set up the ossdev-ireland group. I'd like to get more folks onboard this group to get momentum behind the Irish OSS development community regardless of language, framework or technology
- Help grow Ruby Ireland as a development community and have more Ruby events, code jams and lessons - with Kubuntu development arising out of this. In particular
I plan to investigate ways to streamline Ruby code contributions to Kubuntu through KDE's SMOKE Ruby bindings. The Qt on Rails I've listed above is central to this
- Produce guidelines on how to package Ruby applications for Debian and Ubuntu. I am looking for people knowledgeable in debian packaging to help with this
- See if we can get more Ubuntu related development within the Irish Python community...
- ... and more Mono development on apps such as f-spot at code jams as part of the Dublin Alt.net community
