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 [http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/statusPidgin-31896.shtml on softpedia ]<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.
