Eugenia Loli-Queru

Eugenia Loli-Queru was born in 1973 in Athens, Greece. During her time in the UK she worked as a web developer and as a user interface designer. She is married to Android developer Jean-Baptiste Queru.
Journalism
Eugenia Loli-Queru was involved in the now defunct BeNews.com. BeNews was the flagship BeOS news site for many years. On December 31, 2001, several months after Be Inc. decided to cease development of their flagship product BeOS and concentrated on finding new investment or a buyer for the ailing company, Eugenia (as well as most of the staff) resigned from BeNews after a series of server failures caused the site to be down for weeks at a time.
In August 2001, Loli-Queru took over the post of head editor and site administrator at technology news site OSNews. At the time the site was all but inactive. As editor-in-chief, Eugenia saw OSnews grow from an average of 700 page views a day to over 250,000 in 2005. Eugenia resigned from her editor-in-chief position in June 2005. She has now taken on a more passive role as senior editor and contributes only occasionally.
Eugenia also had her own 2-page column in the European print magazine Linux+ until September 2005, when she resigned as part of a decision to scale down most of her technology related activities. She also used to write a monthly tech column for the Greek ZDNet PC Magazine.
Programming
Loli-Queru patched and recompiled over eighty games to run on BeOS before its demise. Many of these games were SDL or Allegro based.
After her arrival at OSNews, one of her first tasks was to rewrite the site's main engine using PHP and MySQL.
In 2003 Loli-Queru developed a mobile-browser auto-detection engine, which auto-detects over 150 mobile browsers and configurations. The engine automatically serves lighter, ad-free cHTML pages of differing complexity dependent on the information gathered by the detection system.
Eugenia also founded GnomeFiles in 2004, a software repository for the Gtk+ graphical toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
Videography
Eugenia is currently focused on video editing, and color grading in particular. She is an active member of the HV20 community. She is also directing music videos for Bay Area bands, and contributes CD reviews to the Owl Magazine music site.
