About Me
- I am an undergraduate at China, majoring software engineering.
- I started with Linux at about Dec. 2007. I tried Fedora and shortly changed to Ubuntu.
- At that time I began trying to join the upstream GNOME community. I am now on the right way since I got commit permission on bugzilla and git, and became a GSoC student for GNOME

- As to Foresight, I would say many thanks to Martin who introduced me here and who is always helping me much. Don't remember when I first tried Foresight, but my first message on #foresight is at Aug 21 14:42:42, 2008

Contributions
- I maintain some telepathy related packages in my personal repo. Say telepathy-glib, telepathy-gabble, telepathy-python, telepathy-doc, telepathy-inspector, telepathy-spec. (Since these are a must for my GSoC project

- Other packages I made or updated include,
- python source checkers like pylint and pyflakes
- packages useful to Chinese, like scim, stardict and wqy-zenhei (Chinese font).
- Cheetah, awesome, cellwriter, centerim, cunit, epydoc, gtkparasite, tomoe.
- I help Ken to maintain the Gnome Developer Kit, where some packages can be useful to Foresight too. I mean the packages from GNOME and also GNOME's external dependencies like clutter, clutter-gtk, telepathy-glib, etc.
- I created several pages for Chinese on the wiki(though unfortunately it can't be displayed).
Future goals
- I would continue maintaining some of Foresight's packages.
- I will have more free time the next semester and I want to be more involved in Foresight.
- Learn more of conary, e.g. groups.
- Keep the GNOME Dev Kit up to date and make it mature (goal is jhbuild). So it can be not only useful to GNOME developers, but also to Foresight's packaging.
- Together with Martin, make Foresight good enough for average Chinese users, e.g the must-have packages, fonts, Chinese translation of the wiki.
- Be active on our JIRA
