Etan Reisner

Etan started working on pidgin in 2002 because the ​gaimosd plugin didn't do as much as he wanted it to. The plugin needed pidgin to give it access to more functions so a patch was required. He works on various parts of pidgin, most recently the perl plugin, the xmpp prpl, and random other plugin related stuff.
