GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi! My name is Georges Stavracas. I live in São Paulo, Brazil, and am a free software lover and long time contributor. My main areas of contribution are:

The GNOME desktop environment, where I co-maintain Calendar, Settings, GNOME Shell, Mutter, and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
The tech stack of next-gen platform for Linux, such as Flatpak, portals, and Wayland
Streaming tools such as OBS Studio and Boatswain

My current overarching goal is to make Linux a viable platform for streaming and desktop application development. As a desktop developer AND a streamer myself, I experience the pain points of both fronts on an everyday basis. I want to change that. I want to help make Linux the best platform for users and developers alike, and I believe we can achieve that with Flatpak, Wayland, and portals.
Your sponsorship is important to enable me so that I can use work time to contribute to free software. I would love to dedicate all my time to improving Linux, GNOME, and all parts of the platform.
