In what ways do you make a contribution to KDE?
Only graphics so far. icons, general art, clipart, backgrounds, stuff
for websites, printing, posters.. etc.. I have been, however, thinking
of doing some Finnish translations too.. but I didn't get a very good
start with that, and time is also limited.

In what ways do you make a contribution to KDE?
Window Decorations(i.e. Smooth Blend), SuperKaramba Themes, and
SuperKaramba itself. I'm also working with the Plasma team for KDE
4.0, but that's still a ways off.
How and when did you get involved in KDE?
It more or less started when I found kdelook.org. I really liked
the
community there and then Karamba was released. I picked up on
making
themes right away. Then came SuperKaramba and I hadn't used
Python before that was out. I really liked pushing the envelope
of what could
be done with such little time investment. I was such a fan that I
contacted Adam Geitgey to become a developer so I could fix certain
bugs in SuperKaramba.

Where are you from?
I'm from Italy.
Do you work with art professionally?
Yes, I offer my services from my website: www.icon-king.com. I consider
myself as a free-lance icon designer, I am available for custom icon
designs and I've already worked with many American and European
companies. These jobs let me spend money in software and hardware I use
for creating icons. I wish to make stock icons too and perhaps make a
commercial licence for my Nuvola icon theme.
I am also working on my thesis for University. It is on e-books, I've
chosen the easiest one. if everything goes well I'll graduate in July
with a degree in Computer Sciences
