David Reveman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Reveman is a software developer. He was at the Department of Computing Science, Umeå University, Sweden, and was hired by Novell in early 2005.

Reveman is known for his work on glitz, Xgl and Compiz and the window manager WAIMEA.

Besides his programming abilities, David is somewhat known in Sweden for his band "Cold Echoes," in which he plays the banjo. In 2003 Cold Echoes famously opened for U2 in Stockholm.

David co-presented with Nat Friedman during Novell BrainShare 2007. He was quoted by The Salt Lake Tribune saying: "We can do pretty much anything now, our imagination is the limit." This keynote address was the first that time David's work on input transformation was demonstrated to a large audience.
