There’s an opening at Canonical<\/a> that I’d like to take after the current contract is up. It’s an opening for a OpenGL<\/a> dev on the Ubuntu<\/a> desktop team.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy working with my current group quite a bit. We’re building a pretty neat tool. However, building OpenGL into the GNOME<\/a> desktop has been a personal goal of mine for quite a while now.<\/p>\n

I bought a Voodoo II<\/a> in 1999, just after I graduated from high school with the hopes of building a video game. The tools for Linux were sparse. There was Blender<\/a>, but the learning curve is very high, the source was not then open, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to build the whole game by myself. So I started building a 3d modeler<\/a> myself.<\/p>\n

I got as far as building a quake .mdl loader with rotation, scaling and primitive animation. I was pretty proud of myself.<\/p>\n

I haven’t gotten too far along the path since then, however. Time required by work has increased, and I haven’t been able to find a way to make the two projects (food on the table, continuing work on the modeler) mesh.<\/p>\n

In 2006, I was able to take over maintaining gtkglarea<\/a> and fix a couple of minor problems. I wrote a c# wrapper<\/a> around the widget library using Mike<\/a>‘s excellent gapi<\/a> tool. I was able to help Rob<\/a>, Dave<\/a> and Dylan<\/a> with Tao.OpenGL<\/a> (which led to a bit of work on Prebuild). I helped Sam<\/a> a bit to make gtkglarea-sharp production-ready. But I haven’t had a chance to get that modeler finished…<\/p>\n

I’m nothing if not persistent, though :)<\/p>\n\n
