Mostly in the UK, perhaps a short while in Romania during the summer break.<br /> I don't have a 'coding time' in my schedule, anything goes. I also often stay up late at night.

I've started a small project on freshmeat called statusPidgin that fetched text from various sources and put it in the status of Pidgin. It's now abandoned, but you can find the source at http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/statusPidgin-31896.shtml. <br />I have also released one of my school projects as open source (a small web imap/pop3 client), but I don't think it's hosted anywhere anymore[todo]. I haven't contributed in a significant way to open source projects before, beside bug reports and small patches. <br />

I am however a user of open source (linux, KDE, gcc, python, firefox, webkit) and am absolutely delighted by the concept. I am convinced it is the most efficient way of developing software, and perhaps not only.<br />

I am especially interested in the Sugar project, as I have myself experienced the closed-mindedness that schools instill in their students by teaching them using closed source software. I have been fortunate enough to get some exposure to linux and kde and then used them for a few years.
