Star Luke Schierer Discusses Pidgin, Open Source, Life
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 10th Oct 2007 22:23 UTC, submitted by irbis
Internet & Networking "Luke Schierer started using Pidgin (then known as Gaim) in 1999, not long after its first release. He officially joined the project in 2001, after being on the IRC channel and helping out for a few several months. He is now one of the core developers. Somewhere between his full time job working with Linux clusters and his time spent developing Pidgin, he finds time to tell PC World about his life, open source and Pidgin."

3.0.0, when will that happen 5 years from now? I'm not sure we'll ever see video support in Pidgin.
Pidgin (Gaim) has been developed at the speed of a tortoise ever since the main developer joined Google.

im pretty sure we will see audio/video support in pidgin and in many other apps soon, since most of those apps will start to use the telepathy communication framework and telepathy already has everything in order to do audio/video.
